Tasmania is banning greyhound racing!
The state will phase out this cruel industry and end taxpayer funding by 2029.
The ACT did it in 2018. Now it’s time for NSW to follow, step up, end the funding, phase out the industry and protect animals.

We're pleased that the Shooters Party’s Hunting Bill has been withdrawn after strong opposition, as the Bill threatened to undermine effective invasive species control. Pressure still needs to be maintained to ensure the Bill isn’t revisited by the NSW Government.
