Together with the late John Toohey they formed a great team and was always a good way to start your race meeting. RIP Bluey mate. ... See more

NSW One Nation: POLICY ANNOUNCEMENT

Traditionally NSW has been a great racing State but unfortunately, none of the three codes (gallops, harness and dogs) are flourishing as they once were. The Liberal/National Parties have tried to do the work of the Greens with their attack on the greyhound industry. With the demise of Luke Foley, Labor has lost its only representative passionate about racing. These people have no real culture.

Successive governments have done little to support NSW racing. Yet this wonderful industry should be the lifeblood of country communities and tourism. It should also be expanding in the city, getting younger people off their computer screens and captivated by the colour and camaraderie of the track.

I have had a lifelong love of racing and support the industry 100 percent. It will be one of my top priorities as One Nation Leader if elected to NSW Parliament. Our party has a 10-point plan to support and develop the three codes, as follows:

We reject the fanatical propaganda of Green-Left groups attacking racing as cruel to animals. The average owner and trainer loves their racing animals and looks after them well. If the Green-Left had their way, all racing would be closed down and racing animals would be put down, having lost their role in NSW sport...
