#politas #GreyhoundRacing Significant development here as former Lib Attorney General and Racing Minister joins big, growing line up of cross bench candidates who want taxpayer funded dog racing ended. Oh and 79 per cent of Tasmanians agree. (EMRS). As do vets.

this is what greyhound racing looks like. Last night at the "family fun" Meadows in Victoria. How many young kids were at the track watching this? #bangreyhoundracing

I always feel mildly unwell when I hear peeps bang on about their enjoyment of bacon and pork. Pigs are as smart as dogs but factory farmed in especially cruel conditions unless free range. Consider eating less and paying a bit more?? Your health will thank you too. 🙏😀

Well at least they finally corrected the spelling of taxpayer. Only took four goes. 😀 Not a great grasp of detail sad to say.

#politas. Agree or disagree with the conclusions it is a relief to see some considered analysis of this wearying campaign in a fairly threadbare media environment. ⁦Matthew Denholm

#politas in the leaders debate Tasmanian Labor asked “Do you believe Saul Eslake or do you believe the Premier?” Greyhound welfare advocates are asking the same of Labor re its support for taxpayer funding of #GreyhoundRacing despite Eslake scathing criticism of same.

Matthew is a very good journo imho. We’re lucky to have him reporting #politas. A one man bureau that punches above weight constantly breaking stories.
