Tasmania's Racing Minister Madeleine Ogilvie tells inquiry she'll have to check whether she's been to race meets

Tasmanian's Racing Minister Madeleine Ogilvie has told an Upper House inquiry she could not say whether she had attended any race meets at northern Tasmanian racetracks or met with racing clubs in her time as minister, but would "take that on notice and provide dates".

A standing committee made up of Labor, Liberal and independent politicians is overseeing the inquiry into the state's Office of Racing Integrity, which was called after an ABC investigation uncovered allegations of race fixing and animal welfare issues in the state's harness racing industry.
