Perhaps the government should start protecting our fishing areas from illegal fishing before they start locking it away from all the fishermen and women who do do the right thing!

Disgusting
Thats disgusting, and it even worse knowing that it's just one of thousands of disgarded nets in the worlds oceans. I think we all agree with Randall's coment, this government and extreem conservation groups shut there eyes to things like this but target the average person just trying to enjoy life .

Thank heavens it was still almost bundled up, the damage it could have done if it was open right up could have been enormous

All Netting
Should be banned ,the reason,it is indiscriminate,they catch everything turteals,Dolphins,rays,seals,plus anything else that is unlucky enough to swim in . Nets were origanly used by sail boats and pulled in by hand,so the catch was limited,but with modern fishing as shown with this Ghost she--it they can be kilometers long,The federal dick she**its in Canberra have just signed an agreement for some south American super proccessing fish boats to come into Australian waters,Why?The worlds oceans are being destroyed by the use of nets for the mass catching of anything,

Shows who is running the
Shows who is running the country, the greens get their way with fishing restrictions and they also get their way with (non) offshore processing of illegal immigrants. the govt are quick to blame the opposition for everything... where is the accountibility on the party that they are actually relying upon to form a minority government? Nowhere!
