Nason has been pressuring the Victoria Government to outlaw Betfair and to make it easier to prosecute them claiming betting exchanges are “the gateway to corruption on a scale unprecedented in horse racing.”

“If we can prosecute, we can wipe them out,” he said earlier last month.

Next week, the Canberra Supreme Court will hear Betfair claiming that Nason\’s role in having it outlawed in Victoria was a restriction of its commercial rights.

“I won\’t be silenced by Betfair and I\’m not concerned about this case,” Nason said.
