Greyhound racing
674. Hon Amanda Dorn to the minister representing the Minister for Racing and Gaming:
I refer the minister to the greyhound Molly and the response to my previous question on 19 June.
(1) Since that response, is the minister aware that a further three greyhounds have been killed on track, seven euthanised off-track due to race-related injuries, and 10 have sustained major injuries, excluding any unreported incidents occurring off-track?
(2) What causes has Racing and Wagering Western Australia identified in its investigations into these incidents?
(3) What specific improvements or safety measures have been implemented as a result?
Hon Matthew Swinbourn replied:
I thank the member for some notice of the question and I provide the following answer on behalf of the Minister for Racing and Gaming.
The Department of Local Government, Industry Regulation and Safety advises that the information cannot be provided in the required time. I ask that the member please place this question on notice.
