[bump73]

Here's a link to a petition against the super trawler that will be working off Tassie. Was posted on another forum but it's times like these we all should stand together.

Just a word of caution - be careful who you give details to as there is nowhere that says who is collecting the info and what they will be doing with it. I see there is a person's name there only but no contact details for them or an organisation

Signed and on my Facebook.

It is a petition by Environment Tasmania to Federal Fisheries Minister Joe Ludwig.

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......

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:

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

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

For one the government doesn't give a crap about the environment or sustainability of fish the only thing they care about is money more fish helps economy.
