Answer

We have received the TAB NZ advisory committee report on the financial sustainability of the racing industry, which is the primary overarching report provided to me on this matter. We have also received correspondence from TAB NZ in the early period of my tenure outlining financial pressures facing the industry, including losses to offshore operators and the case for an online betting monopoly.
