garret mistake fixed

Dear all,

The very good news is that the amendments to the EPBC Act to allow recreational fishers to fish for mako and porbeagle sharks have now been given Royal Assent (signed by the Governor-General). Responsible fishing of mako sharks is now entirely legal.

This puts an end to a very bad decision made by the Federal Government last year. More importantly, it now allows recreational fishers to look forward to an enjoyable mako fishing season.

However, the battle isn’t over.

Fisheries spokesperson Senator Colbeck and the Federal Coalition now turn their mind to the many other battles to help protect our crucial recreational fishing sector. Marine parks, improving govt consultation with rec fishing organisations and stopping further unnecessary listing of species such as SBT (as recommended by fringe green groups) are key issues.

Please keep us informed of any issue that we may be able to assist with

Patrick Clancy

On behalf of Senator Richard Colbeck
