Several of Australia’s leading wagering companies are making submissions for the Queensland government’s racing review, the deadlines for which close this Sunday.
Racing Minister Tim Mander announced on March 1 that the Crisafulli government’s review process into the $2.4 billion racing industry had begun with a call for public submissions.
The relatively short deadline for submissions, which close on March 30, had caught some by surprise, with major wagering service providers hustling to get their submissions in on time.
Major bookmakers spoken to by The Straight confirmed their submissions will be filed by the end of this week. Their submissions are expected to focus on the current funding model on the three codes of racing.
While there are no specific terms of reference for the review, the Government identified seven key points in a discussion paper it has published titled “On Track: Ensuring a sustainable and vibrant future for Queensland racing sector.”
