A word of warning to trainers, if at any point your phone is requested by officials check upon its return that it is not bugged. I guess you could take it to your provider or phone technician to be sure.

I wonder if this has been done within the law. A gross invasion of privacy and what a lovely community we now live in that this can happen.

Have you got any proof this is happening?

Whoever listens to my phone would be bored shitless, plus they will be backing losers. Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.

Your utility meters, smart televisions, cell phones, telephones, computers, credit cards, banks, and internet are all surveillance devices that are recording your activities and that information may be later used against you.

We are rapidly entering the age of no privacy, where everyone is open to surveillance at all times; where there are no secrets from governments..

There has never been a time in human history where so many people routinely carry recording and surveillance devices

If you are doing the wrong thing you will get caught .

Yes Sam I have, not proof, Evidence, yes.

I put this warning here not in support of illegal activities or rule breaches but for the privacy and freedom of every Australian. If you or any other person are happy to share your private life with a third party that's fine with me.

I have noticed that you have responded to some of my posts. I am gathering you have not been around the industry for long. GRV have been in the spotlight on a number of occasions, you might like to google'

The Judge Lewis report of 2008,

the Ombudsman report of 2012,

There's more if you look.

This is a great con job, not the fact that certain rules have been broken(although no one has been charged yet)but the lack of transparency and grandstanding to serve other ideals. Maybe you can have a meeting with Mr Clayton like I did and ask him about overbreeding, maybe you can ask him about the banning of sheep skins for breaking in purposes or the banning of food(meat rewards) that other dog breeds enjoy, these problems have been created by poor decisions. Add to this the lack of suitable training break in tracks like Tooradin that serve as a natural progression to getting to the race tracks, no qualifying trials that help educate pups to run with 3 others, it goes on and on.

After 20 years and learning from the best(Hall of Famers) I choose not to train and play the game under this regime.

Good luck, you are going to need it.
