Tasmania’s greyhound racing industry is caught in a political and legal standoff as the Liberal government, despite promising to phase out the sport by 2029, now risks breaking its own pledge by cutting funding without passing legislation — a move the industry says could spark legal action.

Meanwhile, troubling numbers show 104 dog injuries since January, with industry reps admitting zero is the ideal — but not achievable. The government remains firm, with a senior minister declaring the sport must end, as public opinion demands it. The path forward remains uncertain, with legal showdowns looming.
