Thread: Beware the Greenies

You think thats bad Andrew, wait till you see the western section of Marine Parks....

Fishing...what's That..

The only thing that will save you will be if the oil & gas are drilling in your area, as they somehow seem to be exempt .... Wonder why


Cheers Ean

I support PETA. That is .people eating tasty animals!

What's wrong with PETA? (well, apart from their views...)

PETA are involved,they have a "fish feel pain" campaign.
They have already managed to get "catch and release" fishing and live bait fishing banned in germany.
Plenty of talk on the wireless today about it,and lots of people calling in saying fishing is cruel

Any links Andy??? The last time I looked the research was inconclusive.

Hi Ean
The new parks are stupid.All I can see is the proffesionals will now be all squeezed into one anothers pockets to fight for the odd fish in the free areas,madness.
Ian tells me he caught up during the week,nice bloke!!!

Hi
P E T A
People Eating Tasty Animals.

I don't mind shooting and fishing for food, it has been part of my life for years.

I don't however understand why one would catch a fish and not eat it if it was legal to do so.

But then people do lots of things I just don't understand.

cheers

Gday Andrew,

Have spent 3 yrs fighting for the marine park destined to be in the middle of the gulf of carpenteria to be removed or atleast modified as it takes out some of our best tiger prawn fishing grounds, only to be told last month BAD LUCK, by our wonderful Fisheries minister. IDIOT didnt even know where the GOC was when he first took the job.

Anyway, my prediction is within 10 yrs if it keeps going, most of our fisheries will be operated by foreign companies who pay the government for the right to fish.

Anyway did catch up with Ian for a coffee and chat, but we had our fish trawler in the next day, and had some freeloaders here for the V8's so never got to catch up for a cold one, maybe next year.

Top bloke, and enjoyed our chat.

Cheers Ean
