It is a great day for recreational fishing across Qld !
The final count was from last nights "dissalowance" vote on our new Net Free Areas was :-
No (Against disallowance motion) - 46 (Labor + Katter Party + Independent)
Yes (For disallowance motion) - 41 (LNP) !!!
Arrogance is what cost the LNP the election earlier this year when we asked for their position on recreational fishing policy and it seems that no lesson has been learned. It is clear that the LNP does not support recreational fishing in our state !
Let’s hope that this decision assists seeing our Great Sandy Marine Park "Corrected" next in-line with the full term review and STOP unrestricted numbers of commercial fishers netting what "should be" TRUE YELLOW CONSERVATION ZONES !
Congratulations to everyone who supported these areas !
