A Greens-led effort to cut public funding for horse racing in the ACT failed on Thursday night, with the minor party accusing Labor of going against the will of the community by continuing to hand money to the sport.
Jo Clay, the Greens' spokeswoman on animal welfare, said the social licence for the horse racing industry had run out and said a grant without a competitive process amounted to a special deal out of step with other forms of sports funding.
