@KevinPitstock @Deb_Fleming Most AI answers are deliberately left leaning, but even Grok can see the lie that greyhounds are subsidised by the Tasmanian people is deliberately misleading. Would be great if some our esteemed journalists would respect the truth, and not continue to repeat clear mistruths.

Hearing lots anti-racing noise about Tasmanian greyhound racing being subsidised in some way which implies charity. Lets just put that to bed right now. The Tas govt. earns more from greyhound racing that it distributes. If anything greyhounds subsidise harness & horses.

Grok@grok·
Based on 2024 turnover data, Tasmanian greyhound racing generated ~37% of total racing wagering (266M out of 713M across codes), but received ~20% of govt distributions (7.3M out of 37M). This supports your point on revenue vs. funding shares. For context, a May 2025 Eslake report notes rising subsidies amid industry decline.

@grok Tasmanian greyhound racing earns 37% market share of all racing revenue sent to Tasmanian Govt. This "journalist" is says that thoroughbred & harness racing contribute far less to Tasmanian education, given greyhound racing does not receive 37% of the distribution.
Deborah Fleming OAM@Deb_Fleming

As shadow treasurer and early education spokesperson hope he notices Saul Eslake finding that rate of increase of spending on #GreyhoundRacing is substantially higher than on education. Some @TasmanianLabor inconsistency there?

There has been a confirmed case of Leptospirosis in a registered NSW greyhound based on the Central Coast. All trainers are urged to monitor their greyhounds and exercise vigilance. Further information can be found via our Industry Update bit.ly/4glWiMa @Thedogs_com_au

You know that report is extremely flawed. Greyhounds provided 37% of distributions but received half of that with other racing the beneficiaries. Tas made far more from greyhound racing than it gave back. Tas just opened a $40 million hole in its budget.

#politas #GreyhoundRacing Extract from Eslake Report on dog race funding. Dog racing maims and kills dogs and fleeces taxpayers. It’s a fact. Link here: sauleslake.info/the-funding-of…

We're hearing lots of noise right now and not a lot of direction about what to with regard to Tassie. Here's the message no one wants to hear: LET IT GO and here is why:

@RCRGREYS @Field_1995 @BellisBrad Makes more sense for the rest of Aus to ensure SA gets all its reforms done & meets govt expectations. The bloke there was not known for his ability to effect change and things have been quiet there lately. Put Tas in the ACT basket politically. Defend SA at all costs.

@RCRGREYS @Field_1995 @BellisBrad Not sure governance will let GRV & GRNSW fund a Tassie fight, but if so - great. GA legless again. GCA could take the fight but would need donations from all GCA clubs as the GBOTA sought in 2016. Different fight this time - you need to fund Ind. politicians to offset Greens

So if TAS Racing is a govt dept, then by who and how is the proposed TAS greys ban going to get challenged?

@RCRGREYS @Field_1995 @BellisBrad Put 2 years of our lives into saving NSW & moved there to put 100% in. Was all consuming & all our own $'s. We don't even get a mention now. Vic is onside this time, where they were against last time; so that a +ve. But there is noone to fight for Tas, & noone to fund it.

@Field_1995 @BellisBrad @RCRGREYS Nope. Not down there. They have no idea what they've started. Greens will work of this to ban harness and horses, and there's no one to stop them. In time, Rockliff's own fat lamb farm will be a target. Their only industry will be tourism.

@Field_1995 @BellisBrad @RCRGREYS They can't and won't. They'd need to find the money the 17-20% of market share that greyhounds earn for Tas which goes to the other two codes to for them to survive. State is broke. Both horse codes have had horrific recent PR years. It's an easy sell for the Greens.

Turnover on all Tas Racing is less well than 10% of national. No one will miss it, other than the Tasmanian's Rockliff has screwed over. Make no mistake, all racing there will end long before 2029. $40 million less for the state. More after economic activity those $'s create

@Field_1995 @BellisBrad @RCRGREYS It's done. If they didn't already have it in for salmon, then harness would not see out the financial year either. None of them has explained how they will replace the lost revenue given greyhounds subsidise both other codes after Govt gets their share.

@BellisBrad @RCRGREYS The only way I see this getting reversed is by a high court challenge. Few members of the crossbench indicating they will not support Labor’s no confidence.

Inaugural speech of @jeremyrockliff 2002 "I wish to conclude on three values .. I hold dear .. The first is compassion. The second .. is commonsense. The third .. is commitment" Like the commitment to support greyhounds given a few weeks ago to his own electorate. Spineless

These "collar up" type farmers consider themselves the landed gentry in Tassie @jeremyrockliff thinks he's one of them punching down on the under class greyhound participants. Meanwhile 40% of Tassie is on welfare.

None of this has anything to do with animal welfare or other issues in other industries, including the other racing codes, would be addressed first. This is pure unadulterated class warfare. Punching down on those the political elite consider less than themselves.

The Green's latest muppet is at least a 2nd generation fat lamb producer from Tassie's NW. Fat lambs are killed between 6-8 months of age. Greyhounds cannot be euthanaised by law at any age. What deals have been done for The Greens to jump in bed with a fat lamb producer?
