Grant, I've tried my best over the years on this topic (and other matters of concern) both publicly on forums like this and privately via emails and calls to the former GRNSW CEO, the GBOTA, journalists (especially the wonderful Andrew Clennell) and also about a dozen parliamentarians when the 2016 ban was announced I was the Liquor and Gaming NSW "insider" who spoke on air with Ray Hadley a number of times soon after the greyhound ban was announced and also provided damning evidence to him against Animals Australia, the McHugh Report and Paul Newson (GRNSW CEO at the time) via copious emails. I like to think that I played a small part in having the ban overturned. So very glad I kept copies of a lot of those emails I sent - and their various responses. Grant, I've increasingly learned over the years that greyhound people (of which I've been one since 1969) are only interested in things that directly, positively or negatively, effect themselves. So I've given up, probably, maybe...... I know it's a bad pun, but our industry is dog-eat-dog. P.s. it's another nine months until the next GBOTA AGM. PPS. Just re-read this post. Sound like a big-headed wanker, but I'll stick by what I've written.
