License fees dropped

Just heard on ABC news that the Liberal party caucus has agreed to drop the proposed $150 levee/tax to fish for demersal species.

catch 22

if they fold over the boat licence and go for one for everyone they will look like the bad guy and lose a lot more votes.If they dont fold labor will change it next time they are in.people need to start realising that getting screwed is a fact of life.the more you complain the harder the screwing.Laughing

Yes thats right

Yes thats right Allrounder,,we are now in a very sticky position,i can't see the liberals agreeing for everybody to have a licence its not fair on the majority of fishing folks,,the ones that go once or twice a year, have a picnic with family,never actually catch anything with there Jarvis Walker combos but have a good time anyway,,i believe 1000's fall into this category,,,

Seems like most people are fairly happy with the outcome,,now labour wants to mess about and pass disallowance motions.
