Friendly #politas home for little girl Isabelle? My gateway greyhound was an Izzy - can attest to their sweetness.
Kiwi Isabelle suffered a fractured hock at Hobart Tasmania in March. Good to see she is still alive but she is no longer useful to the racing "industry" & now needs a home. Another victim of the endless cycle of breeding, exploitation and disposal. Hope she can find some humans who will give her the home and love she deserves tasracing.com.au/gap/dog/276… fasttrack.grv.org.au/Dog/Det… #bangreyhoundracing

SHUT IT DOWN First race at Launceston Tasmania tonight, a horrible fall for Rojo Coco. She appears to slam into the fence. Not sure if she is badly injured, dead? Unclear what was going on. The race was called off. Only her second ever race, not yet 2 years old. #bangreyhoundracing Footage is not perfect but can see the horror well enough. I can't see where she is on track in the wider shots at the end? #bangreyhoundracing This is where the replay should be, but won't ever be: form.tasracing.com.au/formgu… Fasttrack: fasttrack.grv.org.au/Dog/Det…

also last night Hobart Tasmania, looks very much like they are grabbing the greyhounds by the tail when loading into boxes? Footage in this post is available here: form.tasracing.com.au/formgu… Last month Tasracing agreed this was not acceptable. See here: xitter.cf/susanamet/status/20626… The notice to participants stated "it is not an appropriate handling technique and may cause injury to the greyhound ... DO NOT grip the greyhound's tail or use the tail to lift or manoeuvre the greyhound into the box" tasracing.com.au/integrity/i… That notice also stated: "Stewards have noted instances where handlers have used a greyhound's tail to assist with boxing". Yeah right, they noticed once complaints were made and it was pointed out to them. #BANGREYHOUNDRACING
"Midnight Grand" in below post (7 May 2026) was scheduled to run in his next race at Launceston Tasmania yesterday. But he was scratched because of "injury". What was his injury? Footage in this post includes other recent examples of Tasmania tail grabbing as greyhounds are forced into starting boxes. Why is this practice unacceptable in other states but allowed to continue in Tasmania? Footage of all these images is available on the Tasracing website via these links: 12 March 2026 R9: form.tasracing.com.au/formgu… 24 March 2026 R1: form.tasracing.com.au/formgu… 2 April 2026 R12: form.tasracing.com.au/formgu… 3 April 2026 R3: form.tasracing.com.au/formgu… 14 April 2026 R1: form.tasracing.com.au/formgu… 14 April 2026 R3: form.tasracing.com.au/formgu… 7 May 2026 R11: form.tasracing.com.au/formgu… #bangreyhoundracing

Race footage obtained by the Greens under Right to Information exposes the ugly truth of greyhound racing. This is the footage, of harm to gentle dogs, that TasRacing and the industry want to keep hidden from Tasmanians. #politas abc.net.au/news/2026-07-05/g…

“They love their dogs”. Malnourishment and neglect. Today’s example of why 3/4 of Tasmanians want this terrible industry to end. #politas
Multiple ‘bad apples’ or culture of abuse and neglect? While (some) Upper House MPs ‘strut and fret’ over phase out Bill the abuse and suffering goes on. Exposed by tip off - not by TasRacing vigilance. . #politas #GreyhoundRacing

Just an average night at the dogs… #politas
Launceston Tasmania races yesterday, from the stewards' report. Numerous high speed rail slams - no apparent injuries after the race, but as industry members in Tas have pointed out, many serious injuries only later become apparent. Injuries found include, spilt webbing, spike wounds and "discolored urine suggesting a hard run". As well as the usual multiple scratchings pre-race for injuries suffered off the track while training etc. And abuse directed at officials: "licensed person M Coutts was issued a reprimand for using a mobile phone while in the catching pen. Mr Coutts was also reminded of his language towards officials" Footage is 20 month old "Cheerleader" hitting the railing on the first corner where they all bunch up without enough space to run safely. Injuries and deaths on these tracks are predictable and inevitable. #bangreyhoundracing Report: tasracing.com.au/hubfs/2026-… Replay: form.tasracing.com.au/formgu…

…not to mention the deaths. #politas
Why is 2 year old Tasmanian greyhound "Highgate Annie" DEAD? She was scratched from a race at Hobart last night because "deceased". No injuries recorded in report for her last race on 24 March. Trainer history ends 30 March so something likely happened on that date or before. #bangreyhoundracing Rest in Peace 🤍 Born: 2 January 2024 Killed: March/April 2026 in Tasmania #bangreyhoundracing Footage is her last race 24 March at Hobart: form.tasracing.com.au/formgu… Stewards' report 2 April 2026: tasracing.com.au/hubfs/2026-… Fasttrack record (death not yet updated): fasttrack.grv.org.au/Dog/Det…

Another day, another injury. The inevitable and regular track injuries were a large part of Wales, Scotland and NZ’s decision to ban greyhound racing. It’s Tasmania’s time now. #politas
Hobart Tasmania on Friday, "Leica Phoenix" (see post below) suffered a right shoulder muscle tear. Given just 10 days to recover. In the next race, 2 year old "Rock the Party" suffered a major injury - a right-hind gracilis tear. 60 days incapacitation. He appears injured right from the start (far left of screen no 8 pink). Was he already injured or was the injury caused by accelerating too quickly from a standing start? They let him keep running all the way to end. These injuries, and deaths, are predictable and inevitable. So much suffering inflicted on these beautiful greyhounds day after day after day. Tasmania is in a position to stop the suffering. Please do the right thing and #bangreyhoundracing Still no replay available for the Leica Phoenix race. Replay for Rock the Party race is currently available here with multiple angles: form.tasracing.com.au/formgu… Stewards' report: tasracing.com.au/hubfs/2026-… Fasttrack record for Rock the Party: fasttrack.grv.org.au/Dog/Det…

Who could’ve seen this coming. Wait… #politas
Replying to @brentcostelloe
The new price tag “will enhance the stadium user experience to better cater for a wide range of planned uses, including helping to facilitate cricket at the venue. It also accounts for detailed items such as audio-visual, communications, kitchen & food and beverage fit-outs.”

No wonder the Liberals aren't running a candidate in Pembroke. The incumbent Labor MLC @LukeEdmundsMLC is a consistent vote for them. #politas

A bit odd that the chamber is full, minus the Leader of Govt Business….? Surely there’s no reason to not being in there right now. #politas

Powerful contributions from across parliament on tackling family, domestic and sexual-based violence against women. These conversations can save lives. #politas

Premier: “Given we're a small state, a practical way forward is to work with other states on a pre-commitment solution” Gaming giant Federal Group made a similar point in its submission:
