It's an idea and putting it out there for discussion.

The heat is well and truly on the coalition members and cracks are starting to appear within the party.
It is clear that many other animal sports and industries members are feeling restless and worried...and so they should be.
There are also many members of the public who do not agree with the dictatorship qualities being shown by the baird Government.

If you can imagine the numbers that are involved with the above groups, marching in Sydney...how much more pressure does that put on the fragile environment of the coalition?

How much publicity and world media coverage would this generate?

How much strain does it place on the NSW Govt?

Every group in the fight for this industry HAS TO come together and rally all people in the Greyhound industry, animal sports industries, animal industries including animal product industries.

Take a minute to think how big that is.

All you groups out there...forget your petty stupid disagreements, your egos, and your irrelevant agendas.

The cause that everyone should be fighting for is OUR industry, OUR sport, OUR lifestyle, and OUR democratic right. Those people in other sports and animal industries are on OUR side.
For our sake, and theirs, how about we embody them and organize a showing that will grab the attention of the whole country?

baird and the NSW Government have signed the execution notice of the NSW Greyhound industry. There is a lot of discomfort within.
They need to be made to jump ship and it needs a MASSIVE PUSH to do that.

There are hundreds of thousands of people now thinking that this ban is not good for Australia.
Many people don't like the thought of the activists gaining strength.

NOW IS THE TIME TO RAM IT HOME!...like never before.

This can be done if all the people from behind the scenes grow some balls, stop arguing, pull together, market like never before and PUSH.

G/DATA, NGRU, ALLIANCE, FISHERS AND SHOOTERS, LABOUR PARTY, GREYHOUND INDUSTRY F/BOOK CONTACTS, ANIMAL INDUSTRY F/BOOK CONTACTS, and MANY MORE.

I don't have any animosity nor contract with any of the above.

Thoughts?

Great idea Michael.

One STATEMENT needs to be drafted up that can be posted on everybody's Facebook, Twitter accounts etc.

One STATEMENT...Just one....So all can read the same information.

This is not just about Greyhounds, IT'S ABOUT OUR RIGHTS.

EVERYBODY'S RIGHTS.

Makes a lot of sense & if something representative of all sporting groups involving animals &/or people & other people who are affected by Bairds dictatorship such as not receiving fair compensation for their resumed homes when private enterprise are actually buying them , those affected by forced Council amalgamations & those who are losing their jobs because Baird is in bed with the Chinese dictators could be drafted so that everyone could put it on their Facebook page & post it on all state politicians pages it would create an enormous groundswell against tis government.
Is there a speech writer out there who can do this justice?
I reckon you would do a good job of it Michael.

Not sure if I'll make it as a speech writer, Grant, but I will have a go.

Forgot to mention, our very good mates, Ray Hadley and Allan Jones I'm sure they would be MORE THAN HAPPY to make the call out EVERY DAY!
I believe their reach is in the MILLIONS!

We have a small group who have purchased a Table for this event so could we all get together and meet up for the RALLY at

280- 282 Pitt St at 830 Am

Join us for our 2016 National Conference in Sydney!

Saturday, September 24 at 9 AM - 5 PM
First floor, 280-282 Pitt St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia
ticket
Tickets Available
animaljusticeparty.org

I can assure you that we will be safe and well protected and i expect about Dozen security guards will be needed just to ensure these AJP don't get out of hand ..
Understand one thing these AJP people are all convicted criminals and have engaged in Illegal acts on Farmers Fishers and forestry and Greyhound people LAND and premises ILLEGALLY ..

PLEASE BEWARE MANY IN THE animals justice party ARE KNOWN TO be VIOLENT and Antagonist..

We have some great speakers including Christine Townend, MLC Mark Pearson (by video) and Lynda Stoner.

Register here: EXTERNAL LINK
The Animal Justice Party was established to give a voice to those who have none to pursue the vital issues of animal protection through the Australian Parliamentary System by:

Having AJP representatives elected to Australian parliaments
Encouraging the adoption of animal-friendly policies
Demonstrating that voters care about animal issues by contesting elections
Building alliances with other parties as relevant in Australia and internationally

With two federal elections and two state elections now behind us, our Conference in September will draw from our experiences, debate new and emerging issues and plan for the future. We have achieved much in a short time and we need to build new strategies and plans for the future.

The Conference will consist of 3 streams:

1- Policy & Organisational Direction
As a rapidly growing organisation with limited financial resources we need to organise to make the most of the best skills and knowledge we have available to us. Our policies need to respect and value the lives of all animals with whom we share the planet and will take us into many areas of social, environmental and economic mainstream policy areas.

2- Engaging New People Communicating the Message
There are many folk who care deeply for animals that may have no interest in politics. There are also many folk who dont yet understand the many ways animals are good for all of us. We need to find ways of engaging with these people, to enrol their support for the campaigns we lead and the elections in which we contest.

3- Emerging Issues
Animal cruelty is all pervasive and has become a cheap option for the greedy and unprincipled. We also know that Australian parliaments and local councils are responsible for most of the decisions that underlay animal cruelty. Some issues we need to give more political attention to include global trade arrangements, plant-based agriculture, valuing nature and the environment, human health, education, society, the economy and community action.

Cost including refreshments & lunch is $75 or $50 for students and unwaged. Our registration desk will be open on the day from 8.15 am.

For more information including on how to submit an abstract, go to EXTERNAL LINK
Tell us you're coming and register here now: EXTERNAL LINK
Should you require additional information on abstract submission or registrations please contact:

Steve,
The situation in NSW has gone way past just Greyhounds.
The ripple effect on many decisions has had enormous ramifications for tens of thousands of people, with many more to feel them.
It threatens many Australian's democratic rights.

This is why the time is right to show the NSW Govt the people won't take it anymore.

I'm sure with enough effort, this can happen.

By using the right avenue's & giving it a bit of time, it will happen alright Michael.

Jonesy & Hadley will be swinging from trees, reminding everybody about the event.

Jones has won the last 101 POLLS during his time zone in the morning &
Hadley has won the last 98 POLLS.

People listen to them because they hold no punches.

What you see is what you get.

Where Bastard Baird & Group One Dumper Grant will flip on a coin.

Everybody knows that now...Not just the Greyhound Mob.

(paying big unders) Many other under/handed deals. Yes the state of NSW has had a gut full of Bairdism!

Not sure about this...
Additions, edits, subtractions, or whatever welcome.
If it sounds like crap, print it out and use it for toilet paper.
If the whole idea doesn't appeal...no drama.

THE MARCH FOR A DEMOCRATIC NSW.

An historic march on Sydney is about to be bestowed upon the dishonourable Premier of NSW, Mr. Michael Baird and Deputy Premier, Mr. Troy Grant.
You are invited to join what will be the biggest revolt against any Government this country has ever witnessed.
It is against the NSW Government's continuous and systematic eradication of its people's rights, freedoms, and their lifestyle.
It is against the NSW Government's bullying, deceitful, fraudulent, and tyrannical treatment of its people.
This unprecedented treatment by this Government that is completely against the virtues of democracy must be stopped. This Government has to be shown that the community has had enough and refuses to be treated like low class citizens.

EVERYONE IS INVITED.
It does not matter where you are from, what social standing you have, or what beliefs you have.
If you agree that this Government has lost its way and lost your respect, you should join us.

If you are affected by this Government's ruthless amalgamation of councils or you disagree with the way it ruthlessly fired then hired its own people for its own agendas - you should join us.

If your business was affected by the LOCKOUT laws or you are one of the many thousands of people who have been denied your entertainment, freedom of choice, or leisure time - you should join us.

If you are one of the many innocent people in the Greyhound industry that has been devastated by the Government ban or you enjoyed a punt on them, or simply don't agree with it, or you are disgusted by the callous and systematic vilification of the industry - you should join us.

If you are a farmer, a jackaroo, a participant in an animal sport, love recreational fishing, involved with livestock, any animal industry or bi-product business - you should join us.

If you are disgusted in the slaughter of our heritage Brumbies - you should join us.

If you disagree with the incessant selling off of our assets including the 10b Ausgrid debacle and the obsession to sell our farms to foreign interests - you should join us.

If you are a victim of the fraudulent undervaluing of resumed properties or you know someone who is, or if you simply find this deceitful robbing of citizens deplorable - you should join us.

If you have concerns about the "trimming of overheads" of NSW TAFE and the disposal of assets - you should join us.

If you are completely astounded and disgusted that this Government has slashed funding to ICAC, the very organization that has the power to investigate this Government for corruption - you should join us.

If you live in regional NSW and you believe that the massive infrastructure projects concentrating in the city but starving funding for outer projects - you should join us.

If you live in Newcastle and you have grave concerns about the secret treacherous Government deal that was struck with Port Botany's container terminal - you should join us.

If you think NSW's health system is in disarray, while the health boss's wage rises to well over $500,00 - you should join us.

If you are finally realizing that this ex investment banker wants to be the king of the monopoly board and has total disregard for ordinary Australians, you are in good company. The abhorrent arrogance and the mistreatment of Australian values is now at a dangerous level.
No-one disagrees with modernization and infrastructure improvements, but when the obsession of grandeur comes at a cost of the best interest of Australian's democratic rights and freedoms and dubious deals are done, this is NOT what our Diggers fought for.
This Government is OUT OF CONTROL and OUT OF TOUCH with its people.

This is Australia.

We live in a democracy.

There is no room for a totalitarian ruler.

PLEASE UNITE AND FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS - JOIN US IN A MARCH FOR YOUR DEMOCRACY.

Great doc Michael...I'll come back to that latter as working.

ALan Jones just talked to Warren Mundine. They want to do what you've suggested.

Jones stated - LET'S BOOK THE SYDNEY CRICKET GROUND OUT. Lets make it happen.

No Terry, haven't posted on anywhere except here. Was just dipping the toe in the water.
It seems that Jones, Mundine, and probably Hadley are thinking the same way and that is the best news the Greyhound industry could have ever wished for.
The law has passed but it can also be shredded with a revolt of the parties.

BRING THE BLOODY THING ON!!!!

Simon,
100% agree with you with this being needed BEFORE the lower house vote.
Don't feel lonely as I proposed a NATIONAL demo months and months ago and got similar or no response.
I bandied this Sydney march with others BEFORE the lower house decision but baird's trickery left it too late to start.

It is NOT too late, Simon.
The people that voted it in can also vote it OUT (less baird and grant)...they just need a good reason to do it...:)

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
There is a picture circulating on the internet of baird and grant leaving the lower house after the vote to ban the industry was completed.
If you remember all the phrases they used in the lead up to this moment, like "heavy heart", "sorry for the innocent", "hardest decision"...THEN LOOK AT THAT PICTURE.
They both have the smuggest grins on their faces. Their jubilation cannot be controlled. Their pride with pulling off the biggest CON in history is displayed for everyone to see.

If you ever want to raise your temperature...LOOK AT THIS PICTURE.

I don't need a thousand words to describe it.
One word will do...TREACHEROUS!

Baird meets with Olympians at Opera House today. Wonder if he said look around you , this is where you funding will be going (200 million worth). If lying, Cheating, Stealing, etc were Olympic events Mike would have won 3 Gold Medals. Our Greyhounds are also wonderful athletes, wants to kill them on masse! I'm over the Olympics', Professional Basketball, Tennis, Golf all included to prop up the costs. How much does 8 Gold Medals contribute to our economy? Sorry but there used by date has expired!
BTW.Mick you over looked the Fishing Industry, Baird is also decimating them. Bigger profits for the big 2 S/Markt"s at our health.
