gubellini 4,010 Report post Posted November 23, 2023 Predictable enough. Will suit the leading studs and stakeholders with probably policies like broodmare tax writeoffs and a boost in stakes at the upper end. Like last time he was Racing Minister I can't see him doing anything about increasing stakes on industry days. I can't believe that Andrew Bayly is only a Minister outside of Cabinet. He is far more capable than most Ministers inside Cabinet. Basil brush 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

getoutofhere 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2023 Is he going to be supportive of geo-blocking? I realise that it has to go through legislative change but would be interesting what are his thoughts on it. Clear to see that he wasn't so supportive of Entain haha Its makes me laugh that Entain bring up the excuse that they want to have a monopoly to get more control of problem gambling why cant they just be honest and say they want to mainly because of money, where are they fighting for the pokies to be gone from venues? why are they using nearly all of the money for problem gambling for facial recognitions on terminals?
