Episode Details

Tasmania’s greyhound racing industry is caught in a political and legal standoff as the Liberal government, despite promising to phase out the sport by 2029, now risks breaking its own pledge by cutting funding without passing legislation — a move the industry says could spark legal action. Greyhounds Tasmania, which received a letter of support from the Premier before the election, insists on a collaborative solution, hoping to make the sport self-sufficient rather than fight a battle in court. Meanwhile, troubling numbers show 104 dog injuries since January, with industry reps admitting zero is the ideal — but not achievable. The government remains firm, with a senior minister declaring the sport must end, as public opinion demands it. The path forward remains uncertain, with legal showdowns looming.
