The bill to ban greyhound racing in NSW as from 1st July 2017 is a fait accompli. The Greens are simpatico with the Libs on the move. A move to have an amendment added to the Bill was defeated by the Green-Lib alliance. The amendment stated that the Wentworth Park greyhound track was to become green space and was not to be handed over to developers. You would have thought the Greens would have supported such and amendment. An emphatic NO to that notion. How strange for the Greens to refuse such an amendment considering their opposition to the idea just 2 years ago.

Inner-city developer wants to buy Wentworth Park greyhound track

Not only has property developer Brookfield Multiplex got Wentworth Park greyhound racetrack in its sights - it is also seeking to redevelop a swathe of the Blackwattle Bay foreshore.

The company wants to include the Sydney Fish Markets, the only public high school for students in the inner city, a concrete works and boat wharf in its unsolicited bid, set to be lodged with the state government.

As local Green and independent MPs reacted with alarm to the proposal to turn the Wentworth Park greyhound track into 700 apartments, the NSW government has confirmed the company is seeking a much bigger redevelopment but would not give details.

Greens MP Jamie Parker, whose electorate of Balmain will include Wentworth Park at the next election, said the track sale was an outrageous proposal, as neither Brookfield nor Greyhound Racing NSW owned the land.

The Greens are no more than putrid filth.

for sure

it costs a lot of money to have drawings like that made up. No one would do it on a whim.

The greens really do need bob back. They've lost everything they've once stood for.

Without knowing the details, I'm guessing such an ammendment would not have the support of the libs, and therefore ran the risk of derailing the ban. The Greens couldn't take that chance.

The ban must be the priority here. The culture of rampant suffering and abuse in this industry is scandalous, and it must be banned forthwith. And yes, it is worth sacrificing a tiny spot of green space to get this ban through.

So you're ok with banning something because of the actions of a small minority

For what reason??

Good old Greenies, who are just useless irrelevant bludging parasites feeding off the Australian taxpayers, contribute ZERO to society but are desperate to try to be noticed and so they dig up all these extremely trivial things just to try to get attention.

But when it comes to the really important things like restoring the Australian economy after it was almost destroyed by the Krudd/Gillard/Krudd abortion the useless Greenies are nowhere to be found as it is all too hard for these moronick cretins.

It would be interesting to get a good look at some of these feral fanatic fools that actually VOTED for the sick diseased Greenies.

The RSPCA is in charge of animal welfare, so why don't the Greenies join the RSPCA ?

Actually Wentworth Park in Glebe suburb is a sitting duck really.

On Saturday nights when the dog races are on there are more dogs than people there, the crowds are so small.

Only a year or so ago the Harold Park horse trotting track on the other end of Glebe suburb was converted to hundreds of high rise residential.

Glebe suburb is only a kilometer from the Sydney city area and so is very high value land. There is already light rail from the city to Glebe.

The deal with the disgusting Greenies was to get greyhound racing banned in NSW if the Greenies supported the takeover of the Wentworth Park Dog Track which will nett the NSW Govt multi millions.

The revolting Greenies would also like to get Randwick Racecourse closed down but this is unlikely to occur.
