Have a read of Arthur Grimes contributions to the Reserve Bank and his role as an Economist. Notably the Property report he undertook in 2000-2006 era when Auckland amalgamations took place and became what it is now - Unitary Plan. It's all linked together and back to much of the rubbish the people of New Zealand have been dumped with including debts and inflation. Note the roles related to the "Housing Crisis". Note who he is linked with with Academic Reports and Building and contents of his own papers. Grimes has been instrumental as to where to change land from farming to housing etc to build housing in those places. No clues about Flood plains, Wastelands, or why certain land was to be kept aside for everyone's public health. There's a bigger picture we all should be mindful of in relation to the demise of Racing in general and selling off of land, public Reserve lands where Racecourses were created

This article should help provide context and further leads, using names etc mentioned in that timeframe era 1970. Royal Commission of Inquiry into Racing Definition of Conferences Jurisdiction proposal Press 11 March 1970 page 6 https://paperspast.nat.lib.govt.nz/newspapers/CHP19700311.2.42

Now now, we have been using Computers/ internet a long time in it's various formats - besides the background base is International Business Management Systems ( IBM). Artificial Intelligence isn't new either, it's been discussed since at least the 1950's.

There's also a decline in returns because of some who came here been caught up with and that money is no longer in the coffers to Racing. How much money has disappeared due to that? Some see us people of New Zealand as an easy target to exploit and we probably have been, alas it's not too hard is it for the TAB as it was to come clean and disclose those figures, is it?

Haha, you are older now than you were when you wrote that too! We all get older. Some us like quality of life with space around us filled with animals and nature, not concrete jungles and artificial crap!

We must've hit a few raw nerves raising matters about Money laundering and dodgey property ongoings in that era have we? It doesn't take much to find the history relating to Mr Lui and those who came to New Zealand and committed acts against various people which has had a negative flow on impact. Factor into account when Hong Kong reverted to China there's long standing agreements in place for 50 years and they appear to have been breached by some local and international opportunists.

Having a real farmer on the land as a caretaker used to help on them, and at the Racecourses and schools - it's why the public have Inherent Rights related to them. Peter Linton who's family had the pastoral leases in Auckland since the 1960's was the first to be kicked off the volcanic cones around 12 or so years ago and no one supported him. It's unknown if he is related to the "Big Brother" project in the 1920's to mentor new migrants etc and Linton Army camp. We have seen some incredible photos of around 100 years ago where horses and other animals graced them, including cows with horns that naturally ploughed the soil. It's tragic that this country has lost it's way towards Agriculture and Pastoral animals and jobs and contribution to our economy.

An update in relation to this, Donghua Liu who controversially was involved in property transactions in Auckland including the Carlton Bowling Club/ Alphers Avenue properties, daughter from his first marriage is tied in with Airwallex FINTECH. She left NZ in the midst of his court cases... That Public Domain was also controversially "Sold" off for housing. Whose Academic works have been used and rubber Stamped to permit all the infill substandard housing that doesn't so much as allow provisions for a fire truck to access when needed, let alone Quality of life in NZ? What roles, if any, has the Liu family had to do with Alexandra Park and it's current status? Was money laundering involved? It's time to open files with a fresh set of eyes and hold these people to account.

Remember also in recent years how Geoblock was an option on mobile phones and it was subtly introduced.

Which of you people use a FINTECH,other than SWIFT, to transfer funds to place bets internationally? You may like to ensure the ones you are using are compliant with AML regulations because there's widespread concerns internationally how some of them are failing to comply with basics. Some of them may not be in sync with our banking systems - look at history also of the likes of Citibank with transfer system screw ups. We all know people who have been scammed and in part what has happened re Geo blocking is to do with application of wider regulation. Keep an eye on international news judicial cases, not just those involving ENTAIN. Trying to help create an awareness here.

The changes with Television tie in with timelines generated with AT&T, ITT mergers, Infosys etc as they hold the chain of command how information infrastructure is transmitted. It's beyond belief that Paeroa has permitted a "Town" to now be developed on a Paeroa Racecourse for a person who appears to lack understanding of basic inherent rights. Don't start us on the soil type and how fertile it is from years of cattle dung and natural ploughing. Why were wider Historic places / Heritage Protection Legislation not applied, as is required to be, before any Consents were given? How many of our Racecourses, like Raglan Golf course, are part of Treaty of Waitangi land settlement claims? Bill / William Birnie made mention of links to TOW claims when he sold off Post Office/ Banks State Assets in the 1980's - look up his name in PPNZ archives as the information is in there.

Mental health and well being is much wider recognized for those in rural communities. That said, Dairy farmers work bloody long hours with 5am starts to get cows rounded up and often don't finish until 7pm with twice a day milking. There's definitely a need to have these rural Racecourses back up and operating as that's in those communities where interests in animals obviously are because animals are in the countryside! We miss the animals grazing across Auckland volcanic Cones that were expressly kept for all people of New Zealand Inherent Rights.

Those on the public Purse gravy train are to blame, not us little folk who have been dragged along in the train.

Did you notice who was included in the coverage at Pukekohe? It's a very small world we all live in. The big fluff of hair man!

More debt because it will cost a heck of a lot more to develop a new place. History shows it's not cost effective, nor is it of any benefit to anyone to sell off Public Domains - plenty of information and case references to that throughout history - look at the way Ellerslie Racecourse went from a Racecourse and training track where people had access to animals - as is what wider Legislative inherent rights of all people of New Zealand is to factor into, - to the closure of Takanini Track and others within a stone's throw Do they really think it's catering to the people of Auckland, and NZ, to have Alexandra Park sold off, and provide suitable public transport access to get to the races? Do they really think the people of Auckland would like to be further deprived of access to the animals we were surrounded with before mass migration? There's been some abhorrent breaches of laws by those who should know better especially the Inherent Rights given to us all under laws. See our other comments elsewhere where accountability goes back to. The selling off of Public lands, core infrastructure. Auckland does not need more housing, in the era pockets of Alexandra Park was sold off we didn't either. It's been established that some "advisors" on the public purse are using figures of needing 300,000 houses which is the exact same figure generated in 1972.

Westpac should be ensuring those originally involved in the Financial processes are held to account, particularly if the Secret Commissions Act and other Legislative requirements have been potentially breached - which incidentally includes Transnational Money Laundering relating to property deals. Mayor, ex PM Phil Goff is understood to have had leadership roles in these eras of processes. For those who may not be aware, Donghua Liu was involved mud deep with property deals in Auckland around this time and his daughter has been involved in the controversial Airwallex Fintech. The Asian market was targeted as was New Zealand in this era.

Is this because of the way Racing is bumper to bumper presented on Television without showing interviews of those involved like we used to have on Trackside TV first started and we had a much smaller population? An era where people understood and were taught in the public service, as in Politicians, Councils/ Town Planning and wider Governing Boards and knew each other by name, including at the Racecourse entrance gate and where those working at the TAB were enthusiastic about their roles and happy to work until 10pm at night for the walk in enthusiast? One must also factor into account the role pokie machines have had on course at Alexandra Park, and the introduction of Sky City Casino and influx of money laundering. Money laundering and breaches of Financial regulations which should have been addressed with proper Due Diligence instead of rubbing ones hands and been naive with thinking "Wow, that person has a lot of money they can come here" despite the fact those persons were involved in corruption which has since come to the surface. Board of Directors, including those holding Racings Purse strings are legally accountable for decision making in procedures. These are the people who are responsible and must be held to account and go after for all the screw ups and debts this country is in including with the demise of racing. Then there those who operated within Auditing of Racing / Accountanting firms etc who were clueless about Racing that have played roles, particularly in the late 1980's -1990's era.

Lord Zirito was ridden by B MacDonald... Like father, like son

Everything is turning to synthetic and Artificial, why might that be? An oil crisis? A housing crisis or something else?? Reimagine NZ upside down and back to front.

Timelines to the whole fiasco are usually taken into account with any due and legal processes, including accountability of original decision making by Boards.

What year did Alexandra Park change from the BNZ to ANZ? Who made the decision to change banks and why?

Or in days when humans and volunteers worked at the races, a person in a white coat that the riders can see.

The attendees in NZ would get lost trying to get to the races - Bearing in mind that the French drive on the opposite side. Fabulous Racecourse set up - just like NZ could do with.

More like pigs air !!!

Check your facts mate. BNZ is the Bank Alexandra Park used when Robert Death was working there. It's in the Racebook - fact.
