昆士兰州工党议员詹妮弗·霍华德周六在集会上呼吁禁止灵缇犬赛马业，声称该行业导致大量狗只伤亡1。她表示工党应在2028年下次大选时推行禁令政策1。然而，这一主张随即遭到党内高层反对。工党副领导人卡梅伦·迪克次日公开表示，"我们不反对灵缇犬赛马。我们支持灵缇犬赛马，这是工党反对派长期以来的立场"1，试图与霍华德的言论划清界线。
灵缇犬赛马业近年面临多重困境。投资9000万美元的赛马中心The Q于去年开放后，因不安全条件已暂停比赛1。澳大利亚曾有禁令先例——2016年新州自由民族党联盟宣布禁止灵缇犬赛马，但在三个月后因地区社区强烈反对而推翻该决定1。
Queensland Labor MP Jennifer Howard called for the government to ban greyhound racing at a rally on Saturday, citing the high number of dog deaths and injuries within the industry.1 Deputy Labor leader Cameron Dick responded publicly the following day, stating that the party supports greyhound racing. "We don't oppose greyhound racing. We support greyhound racing, and that's been Labor's long-standing position," Dick said.1
Howard has urged the party to adopt a greyhound racing ban as policy at the next election in 2028.1 The split reflects diverging views within Labor on the issue.
The controversy emerges as The Q, a A$90 million greyhound racing facility, suspended operations following its opening last year due to unsafe conditions.1 In 2016, the New South Wales Liberal-National coalition announced a ban on greyhound racing but reversed the decision within three months after strong opposition from regional communities.1
