The greyhound racing industry has unnecessarily obfuscated information, the government's reviewer says, and Racing Minister Grant Robertson has warned it is being put "formally on notice".
Robertson told Checkpoint the industry should be questioning its existence if it is not meeting specific indicators for improvement.
"It's been very difficult to be able to even tell whether or not all of the issues that were raised in the 2017 report have been resolved, because of those issues around transparency and data, and obviously we have ongoing animal welfare issues in the industry.
"This is a very clear signal, I believe the clearest signal that's been given to this industry... it is either things improve, or they lose their social licence to exist."
