00:00Celebrating a long-foughtful win as an end to greyhound racing is in sight.
00:10This has been more than a 10-year campaign to fight for these beautiful dogs so they can run free.
00:18The Liberal government will stop funding greyhound racing in 2029 when the current funding deal expires, effectively winding up the industry.
00:28Many years now and increasingly so, there's been concerns around animal welfare and we're seeing an industry that is at the crossroads, in decline and does not meet community expectations anymore.
00:43A parliamentary committee to oversee the transition is being promised and the Racing Integrity Commissioner will provide support for those affected.
00:52I'm deeply committed to ensuring those industry participants are well looked after throughout this transition.
01:01There are hundreds of people involved in greyhound racing who have to come to terms with this decision.
01:06The government's racing business TAS Racing says it is engaging with stakeholders.
01:11The chair of Hobart's Greyhound Racing Club, Stephen Lockley, told the ABC he has been involved in the industry for 51 years and is devastated by the news.
01:21The Premier is open about the fact that the decision is part of the government's attempt to gain the support of the crossbench.
01:29This is a reflection of the fact that we're dealing with a parliament that needs to be consultative, collaborative and we need to work together on these key policy decisions.
01:42This is a step in the right direction. It doesn't assure the government of my confidence but it is certainly a very strong indication that they're willing to listen.
01:50But Labor, also trying to win over cross-ventures, hasn't fallen into step with the government.
01:57I don't think it's fair to industry participants to make an announcement like this and it's pretty cynical politics frankly.
02:04Well we're looking with interest to what the Liberal Party has just offered and what is Labor going to do now. The pressure's on Labor.
02:11The Greens say a legislated ban is also needed as well as the end to government funding.

02:42Anyway, you can share your understanding of the operating system.
02:45Your plan is around or overhauling your guess?
