A program to find homes for greyhounds after their racing career is not able to rehome them fast enough — and a leaked document reveals Tasmanian authorities are warning 'difficult end-of-life decisions will need to be made'.
In 2016, a review of Tasmania's greyhound racing industry recommended the government support a commitment of a "towards zero euthanasia" framework."Tasracing has rules of racing, and that's what does apply," she said."There's a lot of demand on GAP, and there's a lot of people wanting to rehome greyhounds. There is pressure on the system.
"The vast majority of greyhounds are completely retrainable and make wonderful family members but exposure to other animals is extremely important and needs to be repetitive," she said. Ms Johnston said she feared that trainers and industry representatives were being given more control over the adoption program.

‘Cracks emerging’: The labour market’s ‘best boom times are over’Australia’s job markets are in “solid shape” however there are signs of “cracks emerging” which will “start to see slower” jobs growth ahead, says AMP Capital Economist Diana Mousina. Her comments come as Australia’s unemployment rate today came in at 3.5 per cent which was lower than economists expected. “The participation rate is off its highs – the unemployment rate has clearly reached a bottom,” Ms Mousina told Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood. “The … looking indicators of jobs growth are things like the NAB, Business Survey, and also some of the Indeed job vacancies – they’re all pointing down. “The pace of jobs growth is likely to slow – it doesn’t mean the unemployment rate will go up in a straight line, but the best boom times for the labour market are over. “Which would you expect given that we’ve had 350 basis points worth of rate rises.”

‘Material weakness’ found in Credit Suisse financesShares of Credit Suisse dropped by more than 20 per cent on Wednesday, sparking new fears over the stability of the global financial system after two banks collapsed in the US. Mr Phillips said shares were dropping as “investors were worried” that Credit Suisse will just no longer be able to pay its bills. “The good news is the Swiss National Bank has agreed to give Credit Suisse liquidity,” he told Sky News Australia. “We know when it comes to bank runs … it is liquidity that really brings these institutions undone. “If they have the cash, if they have the liquidity to make sure they can meet their obligations, that is going to slow down any potential domino. “But it does seem like there are material problems here.”
