Melbourne scallop licence ‘absolutely conned’ recreational fishers

[wokka1]

Expanding to huge numbers to satisfy overseas interests is crap

Absolute crap. Basically mining another natural resource...and sending it overseas. And probably somewhere in the chain of collection, export and sale are a few Politicians or their rellies with an interest in those companies. Neil Perry, WTF are you talking about ?

without a supply of fresh quality seafood, Melbourne’s

Melbourne has that current supply, the increased take will leave our shores.

“This is a new model fishery. Not only is this a wild catch, hand-dive fishery close to Melbourne, it has been modelled on best practices,’’ she said.

Ms Wilson, who is deputy president of the Law Institute of Victoria, said the price of the licenc­e was determined by market­ forces and the company had assumed all the risk of developing the fishery.


Absolutely disgusting!!!!
What was their contribution and risk to develop the fishery?

Lawyers are like Pollies - You know they're lying when you see their lips moving.
It's all about self interest, back pockets and self image - It's got nothing to do with protecting our precious natural resources.
These Pollies, business owners and Lawyers don't give a damn about the future for our kids, grandkids etc but only in their own interests.
AND AFMA is fully in collusion with the likes of the Geelong Star etc.
Rant over.
