Shad 1,554 Report post Posted February 20, 2016 Dont think these ministers would know one end of the horse to the other. This job i needs sum one with knowledge of the game. Never had one yet that understands racing. They are just number crunchers with no interest or passion for the game. elbow 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefferson 207 Report post Posted February 22, 2016 Surely in amongst all those Government MPs there must be one who goes to the TAB or logs into the TAB site from a laptop or mobile on a regular weekly basis. That should be our Minister for Racing, don't care if a lowly back bencher. At least he/she would know racing, know what we are talking about and have a passion for the industry. If there isn't one in Government, then the industry needs to find the right person and get them elected. Shitty Minsters for Racing, Government yes men who say to our faces they are interested and care, then return to the Beehive and do nothing. Another case of speech making no action.

Black Dog 72 Report post Posted February 22, 2016 Thank you Ohokaman. My question is to all.. . The four independent board members that have been politically appointed ARE they what N.Z.Racing needs? with their fancy qualifications. I think we are pretty well all agreed Guy, as Minister for racing is as useless as tits on a bull . Have Glenda and the other three stepped up to the mark or are they through their appointee just as stagnant.? Where the hell does Purcell fit into the picture where did you dig him up from.?
