What does it mean?

It means the fun will really begin around the Asset Theft, it means you'll probably have some of the most under performing leadership not only wasting industry resources but local community resources in the future, it means you'll see decisions made that benefit about 20% of the industry with the rest forgotten about. 

It means fools from the Trainers Assoc to trackside presenters to stud farms to large stables believe it will resolve all of racings problems in this country.

The make up of the new " Racing New Zealand " board  will be defining as to whether real progress for the racing industry is an illusion . A continuation of the same type of pandering puppets will spell the end . 

Does anybody have a heads up on who may be a contender for one these board positions ?

We had heard that the bill was open for submissions until February.  I have just checked on the govt legislation website and it is still showing as a bill, which means it hasn't passed into law.

I read the bill yesterday for the first time and was horrified.  Private property rights extinguished in one stroke of a pen.  The code can confiscate private property with no compensation to the owner.  It also prevents clubs from dealing with their property as they wish. 

 

I suggest that people make this an election issue.  Write to ACT's David Seymour, he is very effective.  Or try Judith Collins, she is a commercial lawyer and will understand the implications.

Good luck getting their hands on Westland and Blenheim's land...those horses have bolted

Winston Peters

A self serving slug , now trying to distance himself from Labour just in case the Nats get close at the next election . I wonder if he gets up some mornings unsure of just who he's trying to cuddle up to at that present time . He's never done anything for racing that hasn't served W Peters needs first . Hopefully gone from NZ politics after the next election .

Beware of this theft of property.

Forty years ago a philanthropic local gave a lot of money to the local branch of the Intellectually Handicapped Childrens Association.  That has been taken over by Head Office in Wellington and they have resolved that the local children who benefit greatly from that building can be taken 34km by their parents to Hamilton and we can use those funds, from the sale of that donated building, to boost administrative salaries in Wellington.

It has passed into law and due for Royal assent tomorrow.

And just what do you think these people will do , one of them had 9 years to understand the implications . They are politicians , they understand implications and are very effective as it effects themselves . If they do happen to get back into govt at the next election they will do nothing more than follow thru with the process that is underway .

Absolutely undoubtedly the money will be wasted nothing surer. 

You'd expect there will be a few court cases over it forthcoming though.

Imagine NZTR or whatever they will be called with access to the funds generated, wastage not seen since the days of RITA pre Covid levels !
