As you all would know by now, the Liberal State Premier Mike Baird leaped into action on the back of the ABC's live-baiting expose announcing an end to the industry as of July 2017. The decision was celebrated by the left-wing and the animal-welfare minded alike; two large and traditionally antagonistic voting bases for Baird's right-wing Liberal administration.
Who would have thought the same Mike Baird that removed protection laws for killing native animals and reintroduced shark nets would be the same Mike Baird that would end the horrific greyhound racing so-called "sport"? Yeah nah me neither.
By introducing the ban he'd effectively killed two birds with one stone, finally doing some good for the world and also freeing up billions of dollars in space around the city and state for property developers who'd so generously and illegally 'donated' to his political party. It wasn't easy for him to convince the public of NSW that his heart wasn't made out of coal and he really did want to stop live baiting and mass graves ... because he's also in the planning to make thousands of people homeless for his "urban renewal" development plan. Why do we vote for these guys?
Now that Baird has decided the "right thing to do"is to reverse this ban and allow another 68 thousand greyhounds to die next year as well as thousands of rabbits and possums to be flung around a track and mauled to death. Ah yes he is back to the old Baird we all loved to hate.
Cheers, Mike Baird, for reversing the only good deed you have ever done for NSW.
