Greyhound Adoption Program

We understand that it's much easier now for the chief vet to give an approval for a dog to be euthanised at GAP because it is an imperative of the industry.

Minister, I want to understand what happens when the new legislation comes into place with the Tasmanian Greyhound Local Rules of Racing. When there's no longer a Director of Racing in the Office of Racing and Integrity, will there no longer be a requirement to rehome greyhounds in the way that it is currently set out in the Local Rules of Racing?

Thanks to the Greens greyhound inquiry in 2015, it is now a requirement that greyhounds exiting the greyhound racing industry must be rehomed.

Minister, currently the Greyhound Local Rules of Racing have it that the Director of Racing, the head of the integrity body ORI, signs off on killing dogs, so-called euthanising. The Greyhound Adoption Program or the head of Tasracing has to apply to ORI to have a greyhound killed. That is the current situation. The new act, which you've talked about a number of times, has, as I understand, responsibility for this decision moving to Tasracing. Can you clarify if that's the case?
