bump73 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Here's a link to a petition against the super trawler that will be working off Tassie.

I see there is a person's name there only but no contact details for them or an organisation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaneHulands Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Isnt it amazing how they are so determined to restrict recreational fishing yet the government is more than happy to approve a supertrawler that can cause so much damage and destroy so many fish stocks in a blink of an eye. They never stop amazing me...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimnicdusty Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hello All Fishers should beware of emails encouraging them to join the protest against the so called factory trawler in Tasmania via this website: http://www.communityrun.org/petitions/stop-giant-fishing-trawler-in-tasmania If you submit a protest through this site without reading the fine print and un ticking the box you will inadvertently become a member of Get Up!, a radical far left lobby group. This organisation campaigns for lockouts in marine and national parks. GetUp! recently bragged about it’s exponentially growing membership on the ABC’s The Drum program. The survey was the initiative Rebecca Hubbard who is an operative of Environment Tasmania (The Conservation Council). Check out the Councils agenda here: http://www.et.org.au/campaigns and Rebecca’s involvement here: http://www.et.org.au/search/node/hubbard Rather than giving green extremists a leg up, I suggest concerned fishers protest directly to the federal fisheries minister here: joe.ludwig@maff.gov.au Regards and good fishing Robert Smith BM President NSWFCA Inc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsswordfisherman Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Thank you for this - I posted a warning about this spam also a few weeks ago to our members Do NOT sign any online petitions unless very sure. They are usually collecting your details for other purposes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyNurse Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Thank you for posting this important piece of information. I've been aware and concerned about our southern waters fisheries for years. I'm glad someone has provided me with an opportunity to help contribute (fingers crossed) to the area's sustainability. Cheers, Nursie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
