Greyhound Racing No More

BY BRIDGET GUNN

The Liberal Government has announced that they will be completely shutting down the industry of Greyhound racing as of July 2017.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter, Scot Macdonald, says it was a difficult decision to make, but the Government says there is no possibility of merely reforming the controversial industry.

"The Government was left with no possible alternative but to shut down the industry so we have decided from the 1st of July next year, greyhound racing and betting will be banned."
