2025 DAY OF ACTION FOR GREYHOUNDS

IN THE LEAD UP TO THE DRAKE INQUIRY REPORT RELEASE

The release of the Drake Inquiry report into Greyhound Racing NSW is scheduled for 31 July 2025. The Inquiry was established under Part 8 of the Greyhound Racing Act 2017, following the public airing of disturbing and festering allegations about Greyhound Racing NSW's (GRNSW), Greyhounds As Pets (GAP NSW) Wyee facility, Hanrob, corruption, nepotism, and animal abuse, followed by the release of the explosive report penned by GRNSW’s former chief vet, Dr Alex Brittan.

With the imminent release of the Drake report looming, we may not have another opportunity to make our greyhound welfare expectations crystal clear to those elected and paid to represent us all, including the dogs.

Now is when we need to unite, come together and demand an end to commercial greyhound racing in NSW, and what is a gambling-fuelled dog-killing industry.

Despite the litany of serious allegations, NSW political interests framed the 'purpose' of the publicly paid Inquiry and the corresponding Inquiry's Terms of Reference to ensure, "a viable and sustainable greyhound racing industry in NSW with the highest standards of integrity and animal welfare." David Harris, MP and Minister for Gaming and Racing extended the original due date for the Acting Commissioner's report from 13 December 2024 to 30 April and then to 31 July 2025. In October 2024, Minister Harris also agreed to broaden the terms of reference of the Inquiry to allow a strong focus on GRNSW's financial management.
