Across the country, something’s fishy. 

The Fisheries Amendment Bill has just gone to Parliament and will have its first reading in the next few days. In simple terms – it’s bad news for us, our kids, our fish and the environment. We have a small window of time to “Kill the Bill”. This Bill is basically an industry wishlist.
There will be no minimum size limits for iconic species such as snapper and trevally if they are caught trawling, seining or in a set net; and
The seafood industry will be allowed to dump and discard anything they can’t sell.
It will be illegal for the public to access onboard camera footage and it will be almost impossible for Ministerial decisions to be challenged by the public in court.
