A “fraudulent” text message purporting to be from Qld Health called for Prime Minister Scott Morrison to ban horse racing to stop the spread of COVID-19. Anti-horse racing activists sent the message from an account named “QLDHealth” with a link to a change.org petition calling for horse racing to be banned. “Sign this petition to put horse racing on HOLD and stop the spread of COVID-19,” the fake health text said. The message then linked to a Change.
“The Horse Racing industry think they are above and beyond the rest of the community as they continue to irresponsibly promote against social distancing with masses working at large racing stables, at racetracks in early morning trackwork and on race day,” the activists wrote in the petition. “This is a non-essential business that will only cause the viruses to transmit and subsequently cause deaths.
Is that a factual statement?
Personally I hope if nothing else comes good from covid19australia at least the greyhound racing industry ends. Can't believe it ever won and destroyed Mike Baird's premiership. 19th Century pastimes.
Hope they feel the full force of the law
Put it in the 'Angus' file
