Foley on greyhound racing ban

Ed, Three months ago, the Premier announced his decision to ban the greyhound racing industry without consulting his colleagues, the industry or the community. I opposed that decision because the actions of a few shouldn’t result in a Government punishing the many. Thousands of honest people whose jobs and livelihoods depend on the industry were ambushed. Over the last three months, the Premier ignored petitions, protests and industry experts. His is a Government that doesn’t listen and doesn’t care. But with the Orange by-election only a few weeks away, Baird has suddenly back flipped. It seems the only job Mike Baird cares about is his own. Luke Foley, Leader of the Opposition
