Trump’s ‘game-changing’ Putin deal + PART 1: Why save greyhound racing

Monday Headlines: Trump's NATO-style deal with Putin, shootings in Sydney and Melbourne nightlife precincts, fresh push to extradite Chinese man over baby burning incident, young Australians may have a tougher life than their parents, and a major scientific discovery that could re-write history.

Deep Dive: The Australian greyhound racing community is reeling after news last week that the sport will be phased out in Tasmania by 2029, while animal welfare advocates applaud the long-awaited move.

Many across the sector say the industry’s been used as a scapegoat, as part of a political power play by the state’s premier, who’d recently pledged to bolster the industry, not ban it.

In part one of this two-part deep dive, Tara Cassidy speaks with Greyhound Racing Victoria Chair Peita Duncan about the controversial decision, and the future of greyhound racing in Australia.
