Sept 7th federal election

homebrewer not fishmonger

Hi guy's,

A few of you know me and have met me outside the forum and those who haven't know that i have been very vocal about how we are treated as fisherman as being NON PC lately and the current push by labor, the greens, SOML and PEW, have left a terrible taste in the mouth of every angler and 4wder in the country. Not just our beautiful state.

I have place my name with the Outdoor Recreation Party - Stop the Greens! as a candidate for the senate in the federal election. I have had enough and i am taking my stand to truly see how i can make a difference in continuing to allow access to our coastlines to allow this great past time to continue for ever generation that follows.

We have the best managed fisheries in the world, constantly reviewing and updating practices to improve the health of undersize fish and by catch.

So come September 7th vote with your pencil and vote 1 ORP - stop the greens in te senate! above the line


Thanks guys

David Fishlock

methinks once they lock us out there will be a massive civil disobedience reaction. Rangers will need police protection to enforce these new laws....

Go get em Fish.
I'm still banking on these Pollies taking all the green groups money to fund their elections by promising to lock everything up and then get in and don't do it because they are too scared of being kicked out.
Could just be fantasy on my part though.

When enquiring about Labor's policy I got this:

Adrian,

I know that, like me, you love fishing in your spare time. There’s nothing I love more than heading out on the open water and relaxing with mates and a few beers.

As you probably know, Labor is delivering the world’s largest marine reserve network, the vast majority which will remain open to recreational fishers.

There has been a bit of a scare campaign about what this means for fishers like us, so I wanted to share a few quick facts with you:
• In the Commonwealth regions in question, 96 per cent of the ocean within 100 kilometres of shore remains open to recreational fishing;
• Iconic fishing spots such as Sydney Harbour and Melbourne's Port Phillip Bay are not Commonwealth marine reserves and will never be. Commonwealth reserves can only be established in Commonwealth waters, generally starting three nautical miles from the coast;
• On the east coast, anywhere south of Mackay, you would be hard pressed to find an area where rec fishing was banned. If you are at Mackay and headed north, you’d have to power for around 400km before you hit a new reserve no take zone.

We know that recreational fishing is important to you, but we’d like to know what else matters to you. Can you click here and let us know what is important to you?

Thanks,

Senator Glenn Sterle

Yeah let's vote on real important issues like weather we get to fish anywhere we want or most of the places we want cause I don't care about health, family and education for my kids... Fishing is it!

Hockey gave the school kids bonus the flick today, help pay for cancelling the mining super-profits tax. Yay, I am so happy mining complanies get to keep more money....NOT

Serously, read the policies (they're available online) and make decision that effects your family and your community first. I am not gonna sit back and watch the rich get richer and poor get poorer in a "FU, I got mine" attitude!

Here's a new theme song for conservative governments... A little quirky but cracks me up.

its important to vote below the line if you feel that way. Whether we get o go fishing is irrelevant. Its to keep a primary industry going that is well regulated, employs people and provides $10 billion dollars nationally. then there is tourism and related jobs that flow on to that. What would jurien bay be if it wasn't a fishing town? Oh yeah lets go up to the pinnacles and see the wild flowers.

If you did read some of the other policies

we want to reduce company tax


• Focus on crimes that have victims

• Policing based on Peel's Principles

• Repeal of anti association legislation

• Respect for civil rights

• Police strictly accountable

• Reduce income tax and apply a high tax-free threshold

• Property rights take priority over government rights

• Personal choice and responsibility without government intrusion unless others are harmed

and then we have our parent parties policies

Compared to the Shooters and Fishers. They are the commies. they will take your civil liberties away to make deals so you can still fish. The STG won't.
