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. napier, dock leaf, Delta Bro and 3 others 5 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikenz 1,070 Report post Posted June 25, 2020 On a more serious note do all three codes have people on the board,personally I think the people who have some of the ideas regarding some courses for harness racing need sacking,not promoting.

departed 155 Report post Posted June 25, 2020 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. 6xes and Huey 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stables 577 Report post Posted June 25, 2020 Too late I'm afraid, the Bill has had it's third reading in the house and the process of the Governor General signing it off has begun.

Huey 2,037 Report post Posted June 25, 2020 Exactly but people of sound mind should remember come election time that like this government this bill has been bestowed upon us by Winston Peters. 6xes and nomates 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tauhei Notts 1,403 Report post Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) 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.

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 !
