The Rockliff Liberal Government has taken strong action to protect the integrity of the racing community and strengthen animal welfare outcomes, because we take these matters extremely seriously. The Government has received and reviewed an Interim Report from independent investigator Ray Murrihy that relates to allegations of team driving, race fixing and animal welfare concerns in the Tasmanian harness racing industry and the management of those issues by the Office of Racing Integrity. Minister for Racing, Felix Ellis, said the Interim Report from Mr Murrihy reinforces the recommendations from the Monteith Review and the draft Racing Regulation and Integrity Bill 2023, including a strong governance model for racing and the establishment of a Tasmanian Racing Industry Commissioner.
