Makes one wonder why its safe for Queenslanders to fish in their drinking water supply dams yet in WA their strictly NO GO zones. When is WA going to catch up to the rest of the country??

Yep its extremely frustrating that the WA Water Corp seem to be a law unto themselves.
Many people have been fighting against the lockouts for over ten years with still no results.
Many other states and countries have shown these water ways can be shared with the public, with out the problems the water corp use to to lock them up. At the end of the day they don't want anyone seeing what goes on behind the gates.

 Harding dam near karratha is infested with redclaw and holds barramundi but water corp and our poxy shire wont let anyone near it would be good to open it up to the public .
