Tasmania's greyhound racing ban closer, some trainers keen on exit scheme

Tasmania is moving closer to banning greyhound racing after the government secured additional support in the Legislative Council. The bill requires eight votes to pass, and with recent electoral changes, the government now holds seven of the required votes. Premier Jeremy Rockliff has stated the government's commitment to ending greyhound racing in the state. However, the bill remains stalled due to opposition from some independent MPs and the need for further review by a parliamentary committee. The committee is examining the financial, economic, and animal welfare implications of the ban, as well as the future of the racing industry in Tasmania. Meanwhile, the government is promoting a voluntary exit scheme offering financial assistance to those who leave the industry by the end of the year.
