Midget 4,489 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 So Gary Woodman, a man who's made a career out of larging it up at the industry's expense, has now decided he's going to appoint himself the industry bully, when he can drag himself away from the crayfish, Bluff oysters, port and Stilton. I doubt you'll get any sympathy here Gary because unlike you we actually work for a living and without us you ( or all your "friends and family" ) wouldn't have a job. Enjoy the Lions and your three tables at $15,000 a pop, you lucky bastard. I doubt any hard working racing people will get to see the Lions play live, and if they do it'll be in the cheap seats, not at some flash box with hot and cold running champagne and a silver lined pig's trough. Give yourself an uppercut Gary, you're a disgrace and you behave like a right cock. BTW I penned the reply below to you, but you knew that. richie, Ohokaman, porky and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT"s 310 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 Short stuff, if you were paid based on the number of times you whinged and whined, you'd be on a salary at least double that of Purcell. Instead of channelling all your energy in to this constant sniffling and groaning why don't you do something useful with yourself? If there was a Phd in whinging you'd already have serveral doctorates. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 2Admin2 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 That law and/or the interpretation of it is out of date with reality in the internet age. Would be great to have the legal resources of the NZRB to challenge it. In this particular instance the domain is a .com domain i.e. not a New Zealand domain. The domain name and site hosting are all overseas. Gary have you sent a letter to Tabcorp.com.au, racingandsports.com.au or the NSW and Victoria racing organisations who provide very good websites with replays and stats and also have advertising of overseas gambling sites. Who do you intend to somehow restrict New Zealanders from accessing any global website that has such advertising? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneMcAlister 1,420 Report post Posted March 19, 2017 This letter is pure bully tactics (do they think they are the mafia) and not in the best interest of nzracing. They wasted $50K suing Morton and now this. NZ racing needs to compete not worry about others. This website is also no a co.nz address, so they have no jurisdiction over this. NZ racing wants overseas people to use the nz TAB but not let it go the other way. This is crazy. Also people make like this alternative website, and therefore be following nzracing more and punting more. This letter is beggars belief. GET WITH THE TIMES NZRACING. If I deposit $100 in my bet365 account, I get best odds guaranteed. If I somehow manage to win, I hit withdraw and it is back in my bank account. If I deposit $100 in my nz TAB account they charge me $2.15 admin fee to do it. If I somehow manage to win I must get in a car drive to the TAB and withdraw it. elbow, Hall, Dwyn and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midget 4,489 Report post Posted March 20, 2017 The recipient of the letter is well connected. He should return serve by contacting a good investigative journalist and ask them to look at exactly how many NZRB employees are "friends & family" of Gary Woodhams. There's a story there, and I can help out with names and numbers. All my immaculate sources say this Gary Woodham bloke treats the NZRB as though he owns it, and that allegedly includes how he spends our money and who he surrounds himself with by way of employee. Where's the RIU when you need them and there's a real rort going on ? elbow 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varro 244 Report post Posted March 20, 2017 good on you for sticking up for this bloke, however this response did you actually send this? The silly thing here and as admin has pointed out, the domain is not co.nz, however I believe you can still set a domain as .com even if you are a New Zealand website/company (stand corrected) however agree with Shane's point. TAB are dogs to deal with, crap odds, getting your money back is a pain in the arse, and quality of information is substandard compared to its overseas competitors shaneMcAlister and elbow 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However this .com website is Australian based. The recipient of this letter was also asked could he give some of his hard work to nzracing for free as they would like to use. He said no obviously as thought a minimum reimbursement should be entitled. And now they do this and behave like a bully!! It is amazing that the government spend millions on anti bulling campaigns and they let they own department behave like this. Beggars belief. elbow 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair,if those changes hadn't been made with NZ Post we would now be comparing NZ Post to the 1980s version of NZ Rail which was a shocker at losing money.NZ Post was a good company,problem was they couldn't predict the world wide drop off in mail just as most countries didn't. tonkatime, gary1 and Huey 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right along with the courier delivery. The mail branch was always too labour intensive so was never going to make money. Good company to work for with good working conditions and an above average pay .Trouble was a lot of the workers were below average workers. tonkatime 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
