Tasmanian Premier Calls Timeout on Greyhound Grand Prix of Sadness
Jeremy Rockliff, Tasmania's premier, has finally 'decided it's time to draw a line in the sand' and will end greyhound racing by mid-2029. This heartfelt pledge comes after the tragic death of Raiders Guide, described as a âgreatâ in the sport, who met an untimely fate after breaking its neck at a Launceston track. Clearly aiming to 'ensure an orderly exit,' Rockliff's timeline is long enough to let the dogs enjoy their last laps but short enough to remind everyone that some races really shouldn't be run.

Tasmanian greyhounds get a 4-year furlough before the rodeoâs canceled. Premierâs 'line in the sand' sounds less like politics and more like doggy retirement planning with extra bureaucracy.
Watch out, sports fans! Tasmaniaâs greyhounds have until 2029 to break necks, then itâs all chillâbecause apparently even dogs deserve a lengthy dismissal notice.
Tasmanian Premierâs retirement plan for greyhound racing is like telling your cat itâs gotta learn to swim in 4 years. Spoiler: Nobodyâs happy about this timeline.
