Tuna And Marlin Bans Possible Sept 2010

[BIGFISH]

Peter Garrett is advised by three advisory commitees connected to the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.

The commitee that dealt with advising the decision with our makos is the

Threatened Species Scientific Committee. If you do a little research for yourself by googling most of the committee members you will find are still or were connected with enviromental / greenie groups. they are also and i quote " distinguished dignitaries in their respected fields as Professors and PHD doctors." which the pollies love to have by their side.

Anyway this committee represents in behalf of peter garrett / australian government at the Conservation of Migratory Species, an international committee put in place by the UN or a division of the UN being the United Nations Environment Programme.

The members in this conservation committee are also connected to just about every sizable enviromental green groups in the world. this international group of people which are professors and phd doctors basically make the conclusion of what species should be protected. They make their decisions from " scientific research and data analysis" from research programs being conducted all over the world. One of the data analysis that they used is from our own country being the tag and release programs we have.

After much reading on the net and all from the web sites associated with these committees not one sided agenda web sites you can find all the info they use to come to a decision.

Basically it all comes down to international politics. if the UN or a part of it decides to implement new international species laws our own australian Threatened Species Scientific Committee agrees with the law and advise peter garrett to commit to making it a national law.

Its unfortunate to see that the enviro / greenie organisations have put themselves in key positions internationally and nationally to have their agendas implemented.

One of the things that peaked my interest was that the japanese government became a member of the Conservation of Migratory Species committee for migratory birds but not for Whales! So if pelagic species are in dire straights in other countries waters but not necessarily our own why does peter garrett agree to give a blanket ban on our favourite jumping shark.

As far as other species being list, it looks like it could very well happen but not until next september when the UNEP reconveen for another round of bans.
