  • Adopting a "national approach to wagering reform";
  • Supporting Racing NSW's "endeavours to increase the number of starters per race";
  • Addressing the "anomalies in the ratings & handicapping systems";
  • Investigating whether to change legislation & "allow TAB fixed odds to have the same concessions as corporate bookmakers, including betting up to start time for each race".
