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 “great” 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.

Watch out, sports fans! Tasmania’s greyhounds have until 2029 to break necks, then it’s all chill—because apparently even dogs deserve a lengthy dismissal notice.
Tasmanian Premier’s retirement plan for greyhound racing is like telling your cat it’s gotta learn to swim in 4 years. Spoiler: Nobody’s happy about this timeline.
