Where Is The Equality In This?

Just found the rates below as posted on the Government Site www.outbreak.gov.au
I am sure the Harness guys are happy at being rated the same as us 'Lowly Other commercial non-racing horses' at $20/day - what a JOKE! Amazing that it costs an extra $40/day to feed a TB in NSW Provincial/ ACT than a Trotter!
It just goes to show that we 'non-racing horses' really are 'At the Bottom Of The List!'

Payments based on a daily rate will be paid to horse carers on a fortnightly basis.
Daily rates are as follows:
NSW Metropolitan Thoroughbreds $60
NSW Provincial/ ACT Thoroughbreds $55
NSW Country Thoroughbreds $50
NSW Metropolitan Harness $20
NSW Provincial/Country Harness $15
QLD Metropolitan (Bris, GC) Thoroughbreds $55
QLD Country Thoroughbreds $50
QLD/ACT Harness $20
Other commercial non-racing horses $20

And the Saga continues with all Media focused on Racing as is the Fianancial support. They have forgotten that Racing is the "Sport of Kings" ..............
