Minister for Education, Minister for Industrial Relations and Minister for Racing The Honourable Grace Grace
I welcome the news that Albion Park Harness Racing Club have finally agreed to follow the direction issued by Racing Queensland to stand down their CEO.
I have been very clear that I thought it was completely unacceptable for Mr Steele to remain in post while facing such serious charges, but as Minister I do not have the power to stand down staff members of private racing clubs.
It's disappointing it took this long - the first direction from RQ was issued to the club in September 2021 - but I am glad the right thing is happening now.
