Welcome to

There are several issues that threaten our rights to fish Australian Waters, firstly Marine Parks. The Greens mandate is to have 30% of Australian waters marine parks by 2012. These waters will be no
take zones and the Labor party is in support of this action. The alarming point is that we as users of the resource have no rights or say in the matter, or being consulted in the areas proposed. According to the Greens policy, quote "fund the next regional marine planning process with a requirement for its completion around Australia within 10 years" What does this mean?

We have witnessed the conduct of the government in every issue that has directly effected us,

1. Since the introduction of marine parks there is no scientific evidence that has improved the marine environment to justify future acquisition of our waterways.
2. Fisheries Bag Limits -  after months of seeking public opinion the government made the decision based on a couple of individuals.

3. Dredging of the Bay - Deal was done before pubic knowledge, despite all the evidence presented to the government. The bay has changed considerably since dredging.
4. Mako Shark Ban - An overnight decision, no consultation with scientific community or the public, the ban was placed on to appease the conservationist.
5. Thresher Sharks- another example of no consultation with scientific community or the public.
