FISHING and the role it plays in Australian culture is the subject of the Australia Talks program on ABC Radio National tomorrow evening (Tuesday, July 5).
Fisho editor Jim Harnwell and angling activist Martin Salter will be the two main guests of the show, which is presented by Paul Barclay and broadcast nationally at 6pm (4pm in WA). Save Our Marine Life Alliance spokesman Tim Nicol and Dr Renae Tobin, from the Fishing and Fisheries Research Centre at James Cook University, will also be interviewed.
According to the Radio National Website, the program will discuss the cultural aspects of recreational fishing and the role it plays in Australia's society. It will also outline the "threats" facing anglers, particularly the spread of marine parks and loss of access to fishing areas. All up, it promises to be a lively and interesting debate.

You Got That Right Scotty
A lot of the producers and presenters on the ABC are Uni. graduates and greenie values are ingrained in their brains as soon as they put foot on campus so you always expect that just when the debate is starting to get interesting they cut you off. I don't take offence at that. It's just part of the game you play when you go on talk back radio. If they want to live in a cocoon all their lives thats their problem. I had 1 visitor and several phone calls all saying how rude they are when they invite people to make comment and when you don't agree with what's being said it all abruptly comes to an end. So be it but will it shut me up not bloody likely.
