Why would ER celebrate Randwicks return to racing ??

The media are proclaiming that we should all be celebrating the return of racing to Randwick ?? Umm please forgive us poor plebs who don't give a rats if we never see another horse race again. What's there to celebrate exactly ?? Don't try and kid us that we're getting some normality back...what a load of rubbish.The racing industry has been running it's own race since the very start of this monumental cock up. The DPI /Government didn't have the intestinal fortitude to shut them down like the rest of us.

If we want to go to a show next year we have to jump through burning hoops. Just how are we supposed to be able to go if we aren't even given the courtesy of receiving the free vaccines (oh yeah another big milestone for the government handing out 100,000 of them). We can't get access to vaccines period !! How are our horses in the green and amber zones supposed to gain some sort of immunity ?? Then we're expected to get a vet out AT OUR EXPENSE to take blood samples to prove the horses immune status before we go. It might be ok for people in the city, but out here, its $160 just to get the vet to travel here, before they even touch a horse.

We've experienced enough losses. Time for the government to cancel the booking for rooms at Motels in Orange so the DPI workers can go have nap times, time to take some action on all the phone calls that are complaints, instead of palming us off. Maybe then the call staff could be cut back to an acceptable level and we could see some improvement happening in the flesh.

We are fed up to the back teeth with all this self gratification the DPI is languishing in. It has been badly managed from the get go, we know it, they know it.

I was told 7 weeks ago that protocols for moving immune horses from the purple zone to other zones was being implemented within the "next 2 weeks" STILL WAITING HERE. Unless your a race horse, then the blanket answer is "no you can't do that" easy for the call staff to deal with, or call the RLPB who'll then tell you hmm, the manual says nope can't do that.
We need everyone to call their local TV/radio stations, show them your suffering at the hands of the DPI & Governments indifference to us - the 80% of the industry. Until you stand up and be counted in the public eye, then you can whinge and gripe all you like on blogs, but it doesn't affect those departments. The whole nation needs to be constantly reminded how much we're suffering STILL. They (DPI) need to be brought back down to the real world......our world.
