Integrity Commissioner to Oversee Victorian Racing
Source: Victoria. Attorney General. Media Release
"Integrity assurance in the Victorian racing industry will be strengthened through a Racing Integrity Commissioner and changes to the appeals and disciplinary processes in legislation to be introduced to Parliament. Deputy Premier and Racing Minister Rob Hulls said the Brumby Labor Government was taking action to ensure public confidence in the future of Victoria’s world-class racing industry. The Racing Legislation Amendment (Racing Integrity Assurance) Bill 2009 will establish a Racing Integrity Commissioner, set up a new appeals and disciplinary structure for the racing industry, and repeal the ban on the transmission of betting odds from racecourses.“Integrity assurance is top of the list for both the racing industry and the Government and these measures will ensure more comprehensive, independent and consistent integrity assurance systems and processes across the racing industry,” Mr Hulls said."
