NSW Premier Mike Baird has performed an extraordinary backflip on his greyhound racing ban, saying he and his government got it wrong.Mr Baird confirmed plans to reverse the controversial ban following cabinet and party room meetings on Tuesday, instead promising to introduce stronger regulations for the industry, including harsher penalties for animal cruelty.In hindsight as we reflect on this we got it wrong, Mr Baird told reporters in Sydney.I got it wrong. Cabinet got it wrong. The Government got it wrong.Mr Baird and his deputy, Troy Grant, have faced an unrelenting campaign waged by opponents since announcing the divisive ban three months ago.In August, Mr Baird said the ban, under which greyhound racing would end in NSW from next July, wasnt about political point scoring but trying to do what is right.We chose a course that we believed was right, Mr Baird said.He said the decision to reverse the ban had come after listening to feedback from the industry.We did not give the good people in the industry the chance to respond, a chance to reform, he said.On behalf of that, I am sorry. That is something we should have done.He said a new body chaired by former NSW premier Morris Iemma would be set up to govern and regulate the industry.Mr Baird said that his personal thoughts on animal cruelty had not changed.ddddddddddddhe greyhound industry will be given that one last chance, he said.The barbaric practices we have seen have to end.The premier acknowledged his decision would disappoint a lot of people.The ban, announced in July, came after a Special Commission of Inquiry report that found up to 68,000 uncompetitive greyhounds had been slaughtered in the past 12 years, and nearly one in five trainers had used live animal baits.Animals Australia Chief Investigator Lyn White criticised the reversal, saying that Mr Bairds backflip was a new low in Australian politics.The politicians who pressured Premier Baird to overturn this ban are set to have sleepless nights, she said.Their political destinies are now wedded to an industry whose sense of right and wrong went missing decades ago.To see a state premier crucified for making a courageous and correct decision based on the findings of a former High Court judge, is a new low in Australian politics.Ms White claimed the backflip was a win for the industry.The anti-ban politicians have breathed life into an industry that a Special Commission of Inquiry concluded was unable to reform in the short to medium term, she said.
