  1. If any of the Dennis Family are reading this and may not be aware Papers Past NZ archives have your families wonderful contributions to Racing tucked away in it. The family deserve to recieve Kings Anniversary / New Years honours so to those who read this, follow up and put in nominations whilst we can.
  2. Thanks Roger, maybe Admin can link LJ's posts to this topic so people can read his contributions easier, if he is one & the same. meanwhile may his family take comfort he is at peace
  3. Would we please have disclosure as to when the bet was placed online, as in how long prior to the Race commencing? Time lags between countries and computer systems and servers are known to exist. It would be in the best interests of Racing Integrity to disclose those facts.
  4. Hangover from Dirty Daniel Andrews Governance, he called off the Commonwealth Games and has f***** up Victoria. Did you see Police in UK arrested all animal activists who had planned to disrupt a Racing Carnival there a month or two back? @Blaird @arjay @Pakaraka Star @stodge, do you recall which Racecourse/ Carnival that was? It was great proactive work by Police to stop their anti social behaviour, Victorian and New Zealand Police, and anywhere else these activists are planning disruptions should be stopped immediately in their tracks as they are endangering those trying to go about and earn a living
  5. Great story and delighted to have attended the Melbourne Cup in 1992. From recall the weather was a bit wet, but hey great day all around. There's a good reason to keep those old VHS videos and old style Electronics that are becoming as scarce as hen's teeth from such great Raceday's. Out of interest, what happened to all the Roses that used to grace New Zealand Racecourses? We are failing here folks compared to the 16,500 rose bushes at Flemington, anyone know how many are gracing Ellerslie? Trentham/ Riccarton? etc? Who authorized the removal of our Flowers? It's time Racing CEO's got their act together and rectified the removal of them, because Racecourse are Public Gardens for all of Society and Betterment of all out the people of New Zealand.
  6. And how will it work with Horses Racing if proposed Oceanic Healthcare Retirement Village goes ahead, do people think how animals react around construction site noises? It's a mess now at Ellerslie and a disgrace. Shame on those who instigated the chopping down of Protected Historic Precinct trees that came from the likes of Mitchelson & Graham & others who ensured all the people had a Pleasant Place for the betterment of Society. Too bad those trees on the hill were cut down when Birds are nesting in Spring time and had their homes and babies taken. Perhaps those who did this will one day have their families and enjoyment taken away. Those who live in Auckland know a number of Apartment complexes are been halted bc of the current financial frighin mess NZ is in and those who have paid in advance are been refunded.
  7. They will need to come clean and be acting with Integrity and Transparency who they share Biometrics with. Data Scraping is illegal so how will they Baby Factory monitor these so called Problem gamblers? The same way people are who wear Ankle Bracelets? Hmm???
  8. Probably funded by us with Problem Gambling behind it... It's in Mike Tod's Linked in profile they had a 4 month trial at New Lynn TAB, Auckland recently. No wonder so many have closed as who wants to be under constant "surveillance" not knowing who is watching one go about their private life, scratching your butt etc.? Who is watching people from where with those facial recognition devices? At the end of the day, people should get to Know one's customers by name not rely on Baby Monitors!!!! It's understood an outfit from Australia who specialize in AI may have been involved in the New Lynn TAB trial and similar ones have taken place in Australia in late 2019 pre Covid tracking and tracing people... Wonder if Mike Tod and co will get in hot water like Police etc have with Clearview AI Breaches internationally for collecting people's Biometrics? NZ Police if we recall didn't seek the Privacy Commissioners consent.. Those international decisions are readily available to read online in Legal News and related sites. Former NZ Privacy commissioner John Edwards had a role to play re Clearview AI so it's worth while keeping an eye on his whereabouts and actions. What people need to be mindful of with Facial Recognition/ Biometrics is there's people who may be protected under other countries jurisdictions who are likely to enter such places as a TAB so it's a minefield out there with legalities.
  9. Haha, not a sycophant myself but you are probably correct in general terms as it was at well over 20 years ago. They go around and ask people in Melbourne cup week to in Victoria. Any of those of you who have attended that Cup Carnival recall been approached and filling a survey out and who was involved?
  10. I think we all need to go back in time and think back of those "surveys" we had done or partook in related to the Racing industry. Who wrote those questions? Who funded the research? Was it demographic? Was it biased? Have the ways in which those "surveys" been undertaken changed from face to face, telephone calls, written to that of only a small portion of society through online surveys? Some serious questions and analysis needs to be done on background of KPMG, Deloitte Reports to get to the bottom of how a once prosperous industry in New Zealand has been hit so badly. We recall a girl in the late 1990's who was on contract with one of those corporates having a role as an analyst and dissing racing bc of perceived "harm" it does to society. Oh and then there's Max Abbots role with Problem Gambling. Who is signing off those contracts? We must strip back the Reports going back quite some years to see who must be held to account. Have a read of "Gambling/ Gaming Minister" history in Newspaper archives and you will see the same anti Greyhounds/ Horse Racing cluster of activists as there was then. Some of the news reports today are almost word for word without any change. Why we don't hear Lotto been hauled over the same coals with Problem Gambling as there's some who have serious addiction issues there and cause greater harm unabated? Who is "Funding" the Academics research?
  11. Very good points you raise @Hi Ho Silver. Add to the mix, has Kieran McAnulty and others disclosed any potential conflicts of interest? One Red flag about the whole deal we have concerns about is Entain using New Zealand to pay off previous fines they have incurred in other countries. That money has to come from somewhere so have New Zealand been an "Easy Target" and sitting duck ripe for picking bc of laxness?
  12. New Zealand and Australia signed Closer Economic Relations (CER) agreements in the 1970's, didn't they?
  13. We should all be very concerned about any agreements signed with India and AI including as potential or likely Customer Services providers to bc they don't have a Privacy Act, nor Data Protection Regulations in place so we can expect more AML breaches from that country as there standards are not crash hot. Keep an eye on related news to do with India and levels of corruption and online crime, including that relating to Data bases Who will, and do Entain use to undertake Customer Services? What is their proficiency of English? Knowledge of jurisdictions? Background checks?
  14. New Zealand Passports and ID's are valuable documents, why would you want your own shared online to Lord knows who has "access" to servers and backrooms? And discover your information has been used by someone in foreign lands like when people we encouraged to drop old Mobile phones in collection boxes to raise funds for Starship Hospital only for people to be subjected to Nigerian email and phone scams bc peoples info was in them as they were sent to Nigeria to use for monitoring the people and use to get food. (Tony Blair era of governance ). Add to the mix, why all the Facial Recognition going online? These things are all "Risk factors" that must be addressed first and foremost. We are human beings. Bring back people face to face enjoying themselves at the races, in the TAB and on the beaches... Do we Really need all this AI? What's wrong with tried and true sustainability? There's a use for those logs left lying around that the Greens were party to leaving left unused!!
  15. Interesting reading in here. Does anyone know what role Kieran McAnulty and his former colleagues had to play in Deloitte / KPMG Reports?
  16. Jason Paris needs to pull his head in and be held to account in more ways than one. Look up his history right back to his early Radio Career. He's a sales person who has profited through unethical practices. He was first cab off the rank to offer Satellite phones to those impacted by his own involvement with SpaceX launching across New Zealand. Is he that stupid to not comprehend New Zealand is a signatory to the Environmental Modification Convention Treaty Agreement signed in the 1970"# which means he is accountable for his involvement in Rocket launches and satellites destroying peoples homes and lives with "weather modification"? Wake up folks those satellites are messing up with clouds natural systems hence we get Deluges of rain and unprecedented rain in short sharp hits. Oh and for those who get pissed off with cell phones not working and no TABS and AI well he's had key roles in that to. It's all b/s spin that New Zealand will have 100% coverage because that line was spun out when mobile phones first came out to Look up the history of Elon Musk's natural fathers family name in Papers Past and it ties back to the same spin. Dahlstrom is another that ties back to Erriksen ( as in phones) and Kruger frauds in the 1930's era. History repeating itself by the Big Boys and their attention seeking crap
  17. meomy

    Oh NO TAB

    Artificial intelligence (AI) and pushing all on to digital is unrealistic. We live in a geographically challenged country / world and the Telecommunications and Meteorological Organizations who are pushing the use of satellite technology are moronics who are out of touch with humanities. Indeed New Zealand is a party to the Environmental Modification Convention Treaty signed in the 1970's which those pushing satellite technology launched by Rockets are likely to be in breach of. Just look at where Rockets and satellites are flying and the destruction of planet earth since they spiked. Oh and do look up Sam the Monkey and the dogs that were sent up to "Space" in the 1960's and history of communications. Be careful what you wish for.
  18. Ellerslie has made a massive blunder with the destruction and removal of our wonderful Jumps course. As someone who mixes and mingles with others across the world who visit New Zealand and have seen what's happened to Ellerslie racecourse, the home of many a wonderful Jumps and Steeplechase races, the comments made are one of disgust that they could ruin such an incredible Horse Racing facility. We used to see all manner of people making the most of those jumps including Spartan events. Once again the lack of consultation and forward thinking. @Stodge all those horses parading at Charlie's coronation was spectacular. Bring all the horses of different breeds back on to our Race tracks!!! They really need to bring back A&P shows for the city folk. And ensure rural communities have Racing like they used to because that's where the horses are as they are not in the cities. In New Zealand they have booted off the cows and sheep from the volcanic cones so city folk no longer see animals and that's another area where we need to see the return of animals and maybe a person on a horse rounding up the cattle grazing to see a return to children and others enjoying horses to entice them into Racing careers.
  19. Look up Artificial intelligence Learning machine and Machine learning historical References in Papers Past... It's mind blowing. The idiot Scientists said there would be "No Solicitors"!!!;) Those pushing it are complete utter idiots.
  20. All the best and remember to search the other sections of the Papers Past website as it's a fantastic resource.
  21. @Scooby3051 We do from time to time read the news links in the other part of this forum which is handy. How about you others? It would be great to have the international Racing industry join together and have a one stop place we could locate all Racing news in one location... The internet has really screwed up society in some ways.
  22. For those who may not be aware Rosie Horton, wife of Michael Horton, who were directly involved in the Good Ole days of Horse Racing newspaper coverage in the Herald, has passed away after a short illness. Rosie will also be remembered for her welcoming nature, fashion and glamour in the industry. Condolences to Michael and family. Rosie's funeral is at the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Parnell, Auckland on Saturday. Does anyone recall what horses the Horton's had racing and who trained them? We recall many a races sponsored by Wilson and Horton and of course The New Zealand Herald which always resulted in a good turn out of people on the Racecourse itself. We need those days back in the Racing industry. The last time I saw and spoke to Rosie was at a Writers Festival event and she expressed concern ever so eloquently at the way the media was no longer up to the standards it should be.
  23. Where's the consultation with the wider public who have the right to be consulted? Why does everything have to be about AI? We are human beings for goodness sake. Stuff the Reimagine New Zealand Human Behaviour Project that was signed off by Jenny Salsea and co. "What Works " isn't working so stop messing around with known systems of day to day living and pushing EVERYTHING into Machine Learning AI crap. We all know there's few and far between Government departments that have physical buildings where people can attend. The reality is, whoever the Racing industry sign up with they must have Human customer services and not be reliant on AI automated machines. Whilst not exclusive to the Racing industry discussion documents we have read relating to the EU and Cross Border agreements suggest it will be included as part of AI legislation. Agree with @liz in regards to Entain been the death knoll.
  24. One must factor into account there's yet to be official legislation passed internationally in regards to Artificial Intelligence ( AI) and the use of Facial Recognition and other Biometrics. Has anyone heard any mention of this been passed or discussed in New Zealand Parliament? Mcnaulty needs to get up to speed as do others in the industry and discussions. Once again, a complete lack of Due Diligence. Add to the mix, what Facial recognition technology are Entain using does anyone know? The banned Dahua or Hikvision? Where do there servers go through? We have Data Protection Laws in place internationally, not just locally and Geo fencing is hardly going to be effective there.
  25. Phil Leishman & Lisa O'Sullivan / Chittick legacy is a great place for all to look back at and learn from in regards to Media, presentation and humans interacting with animals and nature. We are all human beings not Robots unlike that of IBM "machines" . A large portion of the B/S we are all now being subjected to goes back to Professor Susan Michie and her Behaviour Science / Machine Learning fixation. This needs to go back to where did the £95 million of "funding" she's had since the early 1970's come from and has she disclosed all potential "Conflicts of Interest", including her father Donald Michie working for IBM in the 1960's and shares etc they may have / had & inheritances. Look at how "machines" as in typewriters, Dictaphones, telephones etc have all merged into one and who "owns" the Telecommunication networks and who has access to our information that was previously not Tracked everywhere we go, nor in our homes in manner it now is. Whatever has happened to Privacy in our lives? Whatever has happened to humanity and animals when society is been controlled/ dictated to by "machines"? Racing and sports have been destroyed bc of Professor Susan Michie and her legacy. She has no interest in them and her narrative bc it doesn't bring in the money for her and her commie mates.
