Whos responsible?
I have been reading the horsedeals blog now for quite some time, reading many outbursts of anger and frustration directed at the DPI, particularly when it comes to the question of inequality regarding the racing industry.
The real question in all this is who is responsible for what is happening currently, I would argue not most of the DPI staff who are simply following directives from above. I suspect that many of the staff may not agree with some of the decisions, but have no choice. The true responsibility lies with the Ministers (both State and Federal) and very senior staff at the DPI. Decisions of this magnitude simply have to come from these levels.
We are about to enter a general election, we are a couple of weeks into the campaign, and has any one heard any politician from any party even mention the current situation? We need to make it an election issue, Politicians whoever they are need to hear from you, their electorate, that you are not happy!!!. Particularly those with portfolios directly related to this crisis.
While it is easy to vent your spleen at workers from the DPI at ground level (many of whom incidentally are actually your colleagues, recruited by the DPI to assist them), the real villains in this piece reside in the ivory towers, We really must put pressure on them by direct our concerns to them, lets put their jobs on the line and see how they like it.

Hi,
I do not have alot of knowledge about politics, but this is being said from a neutral perspective.I was just speaking with my dad about this statement on the equine flu and the coming election.
The reson for the equine flu not being mentioned in the election campaign may be due to the current enquiry occurring about the situation. equalling that it may not be allowed for mention in this election campaign.
I do not know but it is mainly a guess. So it might be an idea if this was taken into consideration in order to keep our minds open during this difficult time.
KE
you have to be kidding.
the "inquiry" is solely about how the infection got to maitland.
full stop.
my understanding the enquiry was called for one reason only, to be seen to be doing something.
well besides taking care of racing.
i so hope everyone concerned not just those with the 60,000 that had to get ei are phoning, writing and emailing.
If possible daily until we do get it up and going as an election issue. heaven help us if the next excapee from Eastern Creek is handled in the same cavalier fashion
