    Thankfully it’s your view and not the majority who voted the Government in!

    Totally agree Griffin. Eventually public opinion will cause the change. It would be great if Aotearoa New Zealand showed the way, and vision, by doing it now, but I can’t see that happening.

    It totally sucks that this is the way we're portrayed in mainstream media when this happens, indeed.
    The jockeys won't stop breaking the whip rules. If they're a chance halfway up the straight in a Melbourne Cup, the last thing they'll be thinking about is the whip rule or stewards. I think the only way to fix it is to just take them away altogether (or only have them carry them for safety, etc). It pains me a bit to imagine what non-racing people think when they see a close finish - whips flying everywhere.
    That can be fixed with education on the actual 'whip' is, and the reason it's used... but it's much more simple and effective to ditch them, for the sake of giving racing a more friendly image.

    So true with most journalism these days. To get a true picture you need to look at how many times this happens against the total number of times horses go around in races in a year. How many polo ponies, pony club ponies, show jumpers, eventers, and hunters are euthanised each year versus the number of horses competing at these events? To get the true picture you need a genuine investigative journalist. Do they exist anymore?

    bazach reacted to gubellini in Racing Minister   
    meomy I find your post disgraceful and offensive. I am not a Labour supporter or voter but you seem to be suffering from a terminal case of sour grapes. Bringing in Grant Robertson’s father into your argument is a low blow. I suggest you take a sheet of A4 paper and write down the achievements of the two last National Racing Ministers Nathan Guy and David Bennett. I suggest that after an hour the sheet would still be blank.

    "For everyone asking about Rosie..
    She is not conscious yet but moving around a bit more. Once she can follow a simple command such as squeeze a hand and let go they can hopefully take tubes out and she will have surgery on her face.
    Is very much a waiting game and we will keep you updated on any progress.
    All your thoughts and prayers are very much appreciated. We all know that what Rosie lacks in size she makes up for in determination 💪 she got this💓xx"

    Berri, while you might find the rantings of those who frequent discussion boards, such as this one, worth following I prefer to take note of official party policy. This from their Animal Welfare Policy.. 
    F. Animals in Entertainment
    Animals must not suffer to provide entertainment for people. The Green Party will:
    1.26 Support a ban on the use of animals in rodeo events as these events rely on inflicting pain and distress to animals to get them to perform.
    1.27 Require all racing codes that use animals to make publicly available the numbers of animals bred, raced, injured, euthanised and re-homed or retired from racing through birth to death reporting.
    nothing too major there and I think we all would agree that official reporting of figures around rehoming, etc is preferable to those wildly inflated figures we see from some of the so-called animal welfare groups. And its an official policy, not one made up on the hustings as we are seeing from one particular party leader who you seem to think would be best person to assist racing.
    and lets not let the truth hit you in the face - the original bill was the result of Winston letting loose his officials in the DIA. It was in fact the National & Green members of the select committee who pulled it into shape after the reading and hearing the submissions. The NZ First member, who lead the committee, was as useful as tits on a bull.

    While we put the All Blacks and league players as tough/hard or whatever we must acknowledge just how jockeys probably beat the lot for courage putting themselves at risk day after day,week after week,I personally reckon a lot want gold medals for their efforts that in many cases aren't acknowledge by the general population.

    So much for this guy's "facts" - more like "alternative facts". The UK is now up to a rolling seven-day average of 20 deaths per million and rising.  He says there hasn't been a second wave. Yeah right. There is just so much unsubstantiated stuff in this video where the author says things and then doesn't give any source at all for his spurious claims. Take the virus seriously, don't listen to the conspiracy theorists and anti-science brigade or those protesting in virus-spreading numbers (2,000 at an anti-mask protest in Auckland recently) and saying their "civil liberties" are being infringed. You don't have any civil liberties if you are dead. I know someone who died from this virus and it annoys the hell out of me that there are people trying to undermine the work of health officials and scientists who are doing their best to protect us by spreading such nonsense.

    Some years ago I went to the Melbourne Cricket Ground to see Carlton versus Richmond.  76,000 crowd for a mid season club game!  And the score board showed the placings at Caulfield that day as the football game progressed. I saw that and wondered if Eden Park would ever do the same.  Okay, Randwick placings did not rate a mention, but who cares about those bastards north of Albury.  Those Aussies adore a footy game, a beer and a bet.  And is that MCG one of the world's greatest sporting stadiums?  Great views.  Plenty of bars serving up grog quickly and not at rip off prices.
