Sadly, the South Australian Government is proposing to maintain the current company structure with the same organisation responsible for both regulating and promoting the sector.
This type of model has failed many times already in Australia.
Consequently, all recommendations about penalty guides and tougher sanctions will be subject to the same conflicts of interest. This is the fundamental problem with the current SA regulatory system. Unless this is fixed, greyhounds will suffer the result of the same incompetent regulation that already exists.
This situation is absurd and utterly inconsistent with best practice regulation. In fact, it’s the equivalent of making the Australian Tax Office responsible for promoting Australian industry, as well as investigating and prosecuting them for tax breaches.
