An update in the Government's plans to ban Greyhound racing, with the industry's lead organisation fronting in court next month.  

Racing Minister Winston Peters says they're considering laws to get the TAB to help pay to re-home ex-racing dogs.  

Greyhound Racing NZ CEO says there’s all this talk about rehoming, but no question or consideration of support for their people and compensation for them. 

He says they have people who have invested thousands into upgrading their facilities. 

GRNZ is heading to court in hopes to overturn the ban, stating they have plans to improve the injury rates of racing dogs. 

Rennell told Mike Hosking they had an independent monitor who had been assessing their performance with injuries and had deemed it acceptable, and in many ways leading the racing industry in New Zealand. 

He says that they believe the process that has been adopted and the decision itself is manifestly wrong.
