The Globalist Marine Agenda of the Commonwealth and United Nations - worth a read so you know whats happening
There is a concerted effort by the United Nations and our own federal government, to cut off recreational and commercial fisherman from sea fisheries around Australia. The mechanism for excluding fisherman, as well as other critical commercial enterprises (gas, oil and other natural resources), is the legislative creation of marine parks, justified under a cloak of green rhetoric.
Marine Parks are essentially the marine equivalent of terrestrial national parks, meaning areas where government legislation prohibits various types of human activity and sometimes all human activity. They are a manifestation of environmentalist ideology, which proclaims that humans must be incrementally cut-off from natural resources.
Serious efforts to thrust the marine-specific environmentalist agenda upon nation states can be traced back to the League of Nations Conference for the Codification of International Law which took place from the 13th of March to the 12th of April in 1930. At that conference, international maritime law was on the agenda and although there was a failure to reach agreement, one of the items on the agenda was ‘conservation of living resources’, despite the lack of scientific evidence suggesting any shortage. [1]
After the Second World War there were heightened efforts to formally codify a law of the sea. On the 24th of February 1958, the First United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea began in Geneva, Switzerland. It was attended by Representatives of 86 countries, including Australia. The official purpose is to bring into existence a new code resting not on informal custom (as it has been historically), but on binding treaty.

That's pretty stupid
If you want to make a good point, you're not making any sense... in fact you'll win no debates
You'd do better putting up a good argument then posting crap pictures like that.

I don't want an argument.
I don't want an argument. The facts are above it.
The ALP's goal is to close 30% of the marine parks to fishing which is going to be 30% of the WA coastline of which is the federal line 3 miles to the 200 mile mark which is 10% of the total MP zone.
Now theyre not going to close the 200 mile mark.
So they are going to close plenty inshore area which means it could easily be 20% of the coast. They don't close where there is no fish.
So they can easily close 50% of the "habited" inshore areas.
That means its going to get a bit squashy out there.
What part of closing the Coral sea wanted by Garrett dont you get?

The picture
Is the only issue I've got. If the gillard govt resigned tonight I"d be very happy! I just think putting up these sort of pictures detract from the issue...

I don't think the image
I don't think the image detracts from the issue at all. I think it says the Stalinist Australian Labour party has an anti-fishing policy which is anti-Australians and the Communist Australian labour party has a roadmap hell bent on getting rid of recreational fishermen indirectly. The management strategy is a failure and disgustingly expensive to police. They know the no-fishing zone strategy is a failure. Gillard is a failure.
Why else would you squash recreational fishermen all together outside no-fishing zones to destroy habitat pathways?
