The head of NSW greyhound racing industry's governing body has resigned as the minister responsible for the sport says there are allegations of 'significant issues' that 'require careful scrutiny'.
Racing Minister David Harris said the report alleges "significant issues" within greyhound racing in NSW that will require "careful scrutiny".
"On Tuesday 18 June I became aware of a 'handover report to GRNSW' authored by a former chief veterinary officer of Greyhound Racing NSW," he said in a statement. "It is important that the industry meets the highest standards of animal welfare and that concerns raised about important matters are appropriately addressed," he said.
"This is very bizarre and out of the ordinary — a total departure from proper parliamentary processes," she said. "The CEO of Greyhound Racing NSW is gone, following the release of a damning veterinary report by the former chief vet of Greyhound Racing NSW," the MP said. "The greyhound racing industry is incapable of reform, and the NSW Greens are calling for it to be shut down," she said."We need an urgent inquiry now into what exactly has been going on, and I can't see how this industry can keep going.
