Shooter and Fisher Borsak says Pearson is clutching at straws
SHOOTERS, Fishers and Farmers Party MLC Robert Borsak has slammed the Animal Justice Party's Mark Pearson for his last ditch attempt to bring down the greyhound racing industry.
On Thursday, Pearson revealed to Parliament he had lodged a written complaint to NSW Police, about criminal activity in the greyhound industry. He claims animal cruelty, illegal drugs, race-fixing and money laundering within the industry are rife.
Pearson's allegations are based on Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW) documents, delivered to the government under a Legislative Council Order for Papers.
Amongst these papers are ‘privileged' and ‘non-privileged' documents, many not available to the general public.
Pearson is now asking for the government to refrain from introducing a bill to repeal the Greyhound Racing Prohibition Act 2016, pending the outcome of a police investigation into his complaint.
Borsak, while a firm opponent of animal cruelty, believes the complaint and subsequent notice of motion is just a desperate move to further tarnish the greyhound racing industry.
“I think he is clutching at straws,” Borsak told Australian Racing Greyhound.
“This is the act of a desperate man whose culture beliefs are on the fringe of human beliefs.
“What he is pushing for all the time in Parliament is for the Police to be the force to enforce any issue relating to animals.
“At the end of the day he is hurting very much because his crazy program for the banning of greyhound racing has failed because the majority have spoken.
“Very few people with common sense actually believe what he believes… it's just rubbish.”
Borsak said anything in the secret documents would have already been dealt with by authorities if they had any substance.
“I don't believe he has got anything and if he does then let the law take its course, but I think if he did have something of substance then action would have been taken a long time ago,” he said.
“I think it is an act to gain some sort of sympathy, some sort of fringe publicity for a failed agenda which will never succeed in NSW let alone Australia.”
With the animal rights crowds making a racket in recent times, Borsak alluded it is dangerous territory to be pandering to these fringe groups. Pearson, the face of the Animal Justice Party, won the last seat in the NSW Legislative Assembly at the 2015 State election and went through a honey mood period, before the reversal the greyhound ban.
“He has been shown reality in his very first year and a half in the Upper House – he thought he was going to have a major win (banning greyhound racing) – but the people of NSW have spoken,” he said.
“It's not just greyhound racing people, it's everybody. No one wants to see law-abiding citizens criminalised, but that's exactly what he wants to do.
“This is a man that wants to have the police knock on your door and arrest you for not feeding your cat or for walking your dog without a leash, he is mad.
“That won't happen. The police don't have any role in investigating animal related cruelty, that's the role of the RSPCA and the Animal Welfare League.
“I don't see that he has got anything that he could possible add to the argument.
“An animal rights theology is a very dangerous set of ideas because it puts the value of animals and their life above those of humans and their rights.
“We shouldn't take too much notice of him.”
Clutching at straws I’d say clutching something cylindrical but unlikely to be a straw- these fanatics just do not stop do they?
PS wasting Police time would be a nice charge if he cannot prove these allegations.

One day he will learn that animals have teeth Deborah. OOPS!!!
The animal liberation person is selective about reality. He showed a reality moment by not standing in the Orange Bi-Election knowing he would probably score under 1% or he might have taken votes off the Greens who were the only anti’s in the race and actually suffered a 1.1% loss on the previous vote. The Greens deserve some credit for facing the electorate to protest and not taking the cowards approach behind the scenes. At 5pm the Shooter’s went to the front again in the election result. The election has not be called yet and writs are due to be… Read more »
lone widow Deborah555 brilliant ( I could add a comment but even I would not go that far well not on a public forum anyway.)
lone widow Deborah555 Brilliant lone widow
Deborah555 lone widow life is beautiful all the time,on the funny farm…there coming to take me away,ha ha,there coming to take me away,hee hee,ha ha,to the funny farm,where life is beautiful all the time……remember that song? sort of fits PEARSON a lot…..hee,hee,ha,ha.
John your money was looking shaky for a while, last count 58 in front !
This Pearson is a self confessed buggerer. I always believed buggery was illegal??? I could be wrong , if not what’s he doing in our parliament?
Maybe charges have to be laid and a conviction recorded.
spyman Deborah555 lone widow yes there is no truer love than the love of farm animals. lol
Deborah555 spyman lone widow
Real women speak their mind Deborah, he obviously can’t cope with that. I feel for the women in his life, maybe they’re not what we call real women.
BobWhitelaw I think that the electoral office might be a bit rusty, they probably have not had to seriously look at preferences since 1947. Numbers are moving up and down on the same votes. Either way it is a great result congratulations to all that attended, you certainly made a difference.
lone widow Deborah555 spyman He probably has a petting zoo.
John Tracey BobWhitelaw Yes I agree John even if they finally lose it is a mighty effort to come that close since 1947 and it certainly sends a message any significant swing would. It was good the Fishers, Shooters and Farmers stood a candidate I could not see hard core nationals suddenly switching to labor not matter how pissed off they were but they were an ideal choose – send a message whilst not appearing to be a class traitor.
Deborah555 lone widow spyman ooohhhh you are naughty.
Deborah555 John Tracey BobWhitelaw It would be a sad reflection on the scrutineers if the Shooters lose as there only have been a handful of postal votes to count in the last few days. But on saying this it is as it is.

John my mail is Phil Denato has fell over the line, a great win for all in this state where this Government has sh*t on !
lone widow Deborah555 spyman Give me a real women any day, and there is some good real women on here ! LOL
Is this the sick Pearson that supports Singer and Bestiality ? the next thing they will be would pushing for would area’s for them to participate in this sick act . Borsak is right when his time is up, he’ll be gone.
spyman Deborah555 lone widow Spyman yes remember the song and flip side was the song played backwards certainly Pearson is a little backward one would say eeh,eeh,ah,ah lol !
John get in the Queue,I think you are about to collect ,that’s my mail, this could be the revolution the Greyhound industry have been fighting for in the last 4 years a master stroke joining and gaining the support of the Shooters Fishers Farmers Party and 2019 more Nat seats will fall to the Shooters Fishers Farmers Party. go you good thing !
BobWhitelaw I believe the persons you have mentioned are popular in a country to the South East of us (Baaa Baaa) LOL.
BobWhitelaw More like a “Steprac” or Alpha Brava finish to me. (remember carpets spelt backwards).
BobWhitelaw A fall over the line in a seat held by the Nationals since 1947 is a very amazing win.
John Tracey BobWhitelaw John does he actually represent an electorate and do you know which one it is?
BobWhitelaw It looks like I owe you a lunch, if you and your party are in Vietnam in February I can shout you a lobster lunch in Yung Tau (recommended by a famous Australian scribe).
John Tracey BobWhitelaw hell John,pay my ticket and all our friends on here,and we will join u guys. why just BOB? whats he done to earn this single honour….lol(only kidding guys)
BobWhitelaw spyman Deborah555 lone widow LOL, good to share a laugh and smile after all you guys have been through.
now part 1 is over,lets commence part2…Remove Mike Baird.
spyman John Tracey BobWhitelaw “You “in my post includes Bob and others. The success of the adventure at Orange includes the alliance and a lot of others making up the 1500 manning the booths. At Vietnam prices I could probably include everyone. Did you notice how long they gave the lure a start overseas, a bit like the old days in Victoria.
Deborah555 John Tracey BobWhitelaw He is in the upper house (Legislative Council) as a single party member so geographical areas are not involved. Without going through the whole previous election his support would be in the metropolitan areas. I think that he got the donkey vote from being number one on a large ballot paper. The number one position seems to get up regularly so he may have been a “lottery” winner.
spyman BobWhitelaw Deborah555 lone widow If you removed everyone who made a mistake you would be left with two people standing in Australia and frankly I would be worried about who my partner might be. LOL.
John Tracey spyman BobWhitelaw your on John…want my address? and no its not Maquarrie st. I AM NOT IN DISGUISE….ANYMORE….LOL. IT MAY NOT MEAN MUCH,BUT THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A GREAT GROUP TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH.(caps used to express heart felt) the knowledge and input for and against,had been quoted on many occasions,so hopefully,some of that input was taken in and acted upon and helped in some way. some,unlike John,were not able to get into the heart-beat quarters,but I can assure you all,many items we wrote were discussed. you should all be proud. at least we don’t moderate the bejesus out… Read more »
John Barilaro under pressure to promote greyhound ‘hero’ Katrina Hodgkinson to CabinetEXCLUSIVE Miles Godfrey, The Daily TelegraphNovember 18, 2016 12:00amSubscriber only NEW Deputy Premier John Barilaro is under pressure from grassroots National Party members to reward former primary industries minister Katrina Hodgkinson — one of the political heroes that helped overturn the greyhound ban — with a promotion to Cabinet.National members and greyhound industry figures are lobbying the party’s most senior ranks, including Mr Barilaro, to promote Ms Hodgkinson to a ministerial role in the Baird government’s next reshuffle, expected early next year.The Cootamundra MP, a former primary industries and… Read more »

I totally agree Spyman, let’s commence with the analogy that (what i believe) Mike Baird is a sheep in wolfs clothing. He is certainly not a true Liberal but an animal activist in disguise.
The Liberal Party heavies must realize this and they must remove him if they want to survive.
spyman
It will be interesting to see which way Barilaro jumps on this. On the one hand it will benefit the National Party. On the other hand all three would be a threat to his leadership!!
We’ll see if the man has any b–lls.
Saying Borsak is a a “firm opponent of animal cruelty” is like saying Gina Reinhardt is a firm opponent of money. This is a man who shoots elephants (and many other animals) for fun and recreation.
spyman BobWhitelaw Deborah555
I obviously meant a wolf in sheeps clothing.
I am going for my nap now.
spyman Mistake in my view for the Nats to sack their leader, apart from the few that crossed the floor the others were complicit in having the greyhounds closed. I realise this is a hard comment. Both members who have been previously in the police force and have become racing minister’s have both been a disaster for the greyhounds but both have had credentials as the Minister for Arts. One was an accomplished musician in his own right and the other understood aboriginal languages amongst other things. The other Ministers for Racing in the reforms were all OK with the… Read more »
BobWhitelaw lone widow Deborah555 spyman now BOB,dont like imagination(at your age) over rule your body…..wink,wink,nudge,nudge.
how is the wife by the way?????
John Tracey spyman BobWhitelaw Deborah555 lone widow hahahaha,u are a sly devil John. I would be next of course,but admiration for my fellow man/woman,wont allow me to say I am the next obvious. I will leave others to select me….on my behalf….lol
Katrina Love uuuhhhmmm,but its not illegal Katrina in some countries. so you cannot blame a man abiding rules of certain countries? I see your point,but he is doing zero wrong,apart from the activists eyes.
spyman BobWhitelaw Deborah555 lone widow That is on the cards mid December !
John Tracey spyman John Tracey spyman one thing that sticks in my mind John,was when Katrina was making her speech to not support the ban.the look of fear,and uncertainty in her voice,was escalated by TV viewing of the smug,steely eyed GRANT look. she knew what she was saying was against HIS policies and beliefs,but she still took it on.that takes guts and she won so much respect from everybody,maybe even Grant,but he had to ruin the moment because he just had to prove a point to anyone who dare take his mantra on. whether we ever vote for NATS again,one person,and a… Read more »
BobWhitelaw spyman Deborah555 lone widow I am hearing that. HADLEY has been a stalwart for it,and JONES is even moredetermined to press home the demise of BAIRD. fingers x
spyman BobWhitelaw lone widow Deborah555 We won’t go there, it has a sad ending !
Katrina Love Katrina you are trying to compare apples and oranges as the same? or i could compare Singer and Pearson (animal cruelty) re “BESTIALITY”, with the clergy who have a sexual appetite for little boys, or maybe you feel that’s ok on you side of the fence to surport those persons with their acts in this world today ?
BobWhitelaw Katrina Love good points BOB.
tunnel vision comes to mind,and whats that Muslim word for today….RADICALISATION.
but I will respect anothers thoughts and comments. I am well educated by HUGH to comprehend these issues….lol
lone widow spyman for sure lonewidow. but it appears his cycle in politics maybe very short anyway.
he needs to IMAGE/CULTURE change,and quickly. surely by now he must have heard of KATRINA and her courage. don’t they want courage in that party? or is it a woman thing(stir,stir the pot)
The police have enough to do without worrying about animal issues,years ago the police were allowed to go onto properties and shoot animals that were aggressive or injured that has all changed and if the RSPCA were doing their job properly then there would be no issues ,if drugs were detected the controlling bodies in each state would have dealt with positive swabs ,an idiot who puts animals above humans ,
