Here's what's on Georgie's agenda in the Victorian Legislative Council.

At least 174 racehorses died from racing or training injuries in past 12 months in Australia, report finds That’s the highest number recorded by the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses since they began tracking deaths 10 years ago

Australians who followed yesterday's Melbourne Cup might like to be aware of the animal cruelty that's too common in horse racing. 174+ animal deaths for 2025, according to this article from last week. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o... #australia #auspol #animals #animalwelfare #nuptothecup

I can never understand why this or the death of hundreds of race horses every year is ever ok. These festivals of cruelty have to stop. #nuptothecup #HorseRacingKills #MelbourneCup

You had me at #NupToTheCup 😆😆😆

Get dressed up, meet friends, have a picnic, get pissed but don’t drive, and leave the horses out of it. Stop the whipping, the breeding and the knackeries for those horses that never win and end up as meat. Have human races. Just as much fun and they have a choice.

WINNER BLEEDS FROM MOUTH 🩸

This freshly crowned champion horse Half Yours, winner of 2025's Melbourne Cup, was paraded while blood gushed from his mouth.

The racing industry spins this exploitation as best they can - but Aussies can decide for themselves.

#NuptotheCup #MelbourneCup #HalfYours

History made today in the #NupToTheCup, according to the ABC. Turns out to be a "Second youngest woman secretary of the Orpington Tennis Club" situation. Lol. #IYKYK

Honestly! ABC interviewing over privileged and/or desperate/stupid gamblers at the #MelbourneCup, who complained about interest rates being maintained, deserve all they get IMHO. FWIW, save don’t gamble. #NupToTheCup 💔🐴 🇦🇺

It's a bullshit holiday anyway #nuptothecup

Did we lose any horses today?

#NupToTheCup
#auspol

Every three days, a horse dies in Australia because of racing. The causes are catastrophic injuries such as broken necks, shattered limbs, or ruptured arteries. These numbers do not include unreported cases or the thousands of horses lost to training injuries and wastage each year. #NupToTheCup

#NupToTheCup

For the record and I'm sure to nobody's surprise: #NupToTheCup

We should replace the whole thing with Canapes For Critters day. Everyone can still dress up and get munted in a marquee, and the "bookies" will be representatives of animal-related causes taking donations.

Don’t waste your money on gambling away on horses and cruelty

If you want whips and leather book me instead

Don’t worry you can dress up real nice and I’ll gladly take your money from you

Retire all the racehorses and turn the turf clubs into low income housing.

'He's up there': Melham's tribute to late grandfather after Cup win Half Yours wins the 165th edition of the Melbourne Cup at Flemington, with jockey Jamie Melham making history as the first female jockey to win both the Melbourne and Caulfield Cups.

Yeah feminism :/

"Melham's win made her the first female jockey to win both the Melbourne and Caulfield Cups, to go with her win on Half Yours last month."

happy to report that the weather near Flemington Racecourse is getting pretty miserable #NupToTheCup

#NupToTheCup

Put the owners on the track many of whom look like they need the exercise and I'll be interested.

If you think that it's okay to support the "spring carnival" in any way. Please read the latest report from the "Coalition for the Protection of racehorses". The link is in my first comment.
