‘Entirely civil': ATC Chairman calls hostility claims ‘rubbish' after Rosehill vote
Australian Turf Club Chairman Peter McGauran has dismissed reports of hostility during the member meeting that rejected a $5 billion proposal to sell Rosehill Gardens Racecourse, calling such claims 'complete rubbish'.
Speaking to Sky News Australia, Mr McGauran addressed speculation about unrest at the recent meeting held at Royal Randwick, where ATC members voted 56 per cent against the proposed sale to the NSW government.
'The meeting was entirely civil,' he told Sky News Australia.
'Look, it was robust. Everybody who stood up basically opposed the sale of Rosehill and put their points of view passionately, but the idea that there was any anger expressed, there were strong feelings.'
