SOMETHING SERIOUS TO EVERY PARTICIPANT...PLEASE READ THIS AND SHARE.

AS everyone is aware, the greyhound industry has been short changed by the signing of the inequitable "Intra Code Agreement" that sees us locked in to a 99 year lease and subsidizing the other racing codes.

It is well documented that we receive about 11% whilst producing double that in revenue.

Because that agreement apparently can't be changed without the a consent of the other codes, we are stuck with it.

It has just been announced that the NSW Government has reduced betting tax from about 3.8% to a more realistic 1.8% and guess what? The split up of this extra revenue is 77.5% to the horses, 12.5% to the harness and a lousy 10% to us.

My information is that members will vote on this proposal NEXT WEEK which gives us very little time to lobby support from Government Ministers.

I have just attempted to contact my Local M.P.s and I urge EVERY PARTICIPANT to do the same, asking why the inequity.

If you don't act in the next few days it will TOO LATE to change.
