Winston Peters: Racing Minister doesn't plan to rush decision on whether to ban greyhound racing
Manage episode 424192656 series 2098282
Racing Minister Winston Peters has confirmed he's in no hurry to make a call whether or not to ban greyhound racing.
Appearing before a select committee, Peters claimed he wanted to wait at least a year to make a decision - and had no interest in making a 'careless' choice.
Peters says he ran the risk of being called to account if he rushed the process of a potential ban.
"I've got people surveying the scene on a weekly basis, finding out what is happening and whether there are improvements - and in a time, very soon, in the next few months, we'll have a very clear picture."
