Independent watchdog to be appointed for SA greyhound racing industry

In short:

The state's greyhound racing industry was given a two-year deadline to implement recommendations to improve its practices, following an independent inquiry sparked by ABC reporting.

A final report on the two-year reform period was handed down on Wednesday with two key recommendations — that racing continue, as well as the need for greater oversight of animal welfare and integrity issues.

What's next?

The SA government says legislation to support the implementation of an integrity body will be introduced to state parliament next year.
