Australian police and animal charity the Australian RSPCA are investigating the discovery of at least 55 greyhound carcasses found dumped in bushland.

The decomposing carcasses were discovered near Bundaberg, Queensland, by a member of the public.

Queensland's Police Minister Jo-Ann Miller said the discovery was "totally sickening".

It comes weeks after a scandal erupted over the illegal use of live bait to train Australian greyhounds for racing.
