ONLY 0 DAYS TO GO HAVE YOUR SAY, time is up !
Re: Marine Park Lock Outs Have Your Say
A reminder that the Rally is Happening this Wednesday August the 29th, Location Langley Park , Perth 4pm to 6pm. There will be a free sausage sizzle, and guest speakers will include Rex Hunt, Andrew Rowland from Recfish West, Emma George, Jamie Chester and probably Norman Moore current Wa minister for Fisheries. In addition there will be covoys leaving at 2.30pm from LLeeuwin boat ramp and Hillaries boat ramp, i have copies of the route map for the lleuwin convoy if anyone wants one i can e-mail it.
Recfish west is fully behind this campaign and they say .....
" The keep Australia Fishing Don't lock us out campaign was launched in response to Federal Governments Marine Reserves network that has proposed to lock Australian Fishers out of vast ares of water, including iconic areas such as geographe bay, dampier and the Rottnest Trench.
This campaign aims to raise awareness of the consequences of the Marine Reserves Network to recreational fishers and promote action to encourage the Federal Government to take a more balanced approach that takes into account the views of australias 5 million recreational fishers.
The rereational fishing sector must stand up and show thier support for this event. A well attended rally will give a strong indication to the federal government that the recreational fishing sector will not be taken lightly."
Bannners and signs with the massage "keep australia fishing" and "dont lock us out" have been suggested to keep the mesage uniform, and as many separate cars with boats in tow as possible. Finally there will be attendant guided parking on Langley Park so security and parking issues should not be a concern.
Any questions ? Post here or phone or e-mail me , i will be happy to help.

Re: ONLY 2 DAYS TO GO HAVE YOUR SAY, NUMBERS MAKE THE DIFFER
It certainly looks as if the Labor Mob let things slip past them with that trawler, and had to start from the foul line to get it stopped. WA should ban it from entering our waters, and so should ALL of the states. Its all our water, the FEDS only own the deeper bits without ports.
Bit tough about Julias dad, but that's another one of life's problems that everyone, even PM's hit when travelling life's road.
