just greed and selfishness

I guess some people think the rules don't apply to them. Unbelievable. Great work this year by fisheries so many boats seized and fines handed out, guess it goes to show that some people like these clowns never learn. Hope they get hit where it hurts-hip pocket and boat seizure.

No sympathy

fortunately I do believe there is a big enough book to throw at them, hopefully the courts will put em flat on their thieving arses. 

I'd  also love to see this spread far and wide not just on social media but print and tv news , massive name and shame to improve people's awareness that fisheries do police and the penalties are high.

Nice work fisheries

There's something seriously

There's something seriously wrong in our society when pulling rec pots results in a confiscated boat yet pissy drivers can blow big numbers and sook to the magistrate to get an extraordinary license to continue driving their car.

Top job fisheries I say sack

Top job fisheries 

I say sack police comissioner and give fisheries the job, if they can get some clown pulling pots in amongst a million others and create  road blocks to stop illigal fishos surely they can close down the drug dens in every housing estate and stop the muppets on their scooters and pushies with back packs full of smack. Its a sad world when fisheries are making the coppers look stupid. No dig at all against coppers themselves they do an amazing job, its the monkeys above them that keep the real crimz on the street. My two cents
