Sorry Alan but I am over these greenie groups pushing their agendas to make themselves feel good with misinfomation. We have one up here at the moment sprouting his crap about marine parks under the disgiuse of Fishers For Conservation, without having the first hand knowledge of what already happens up here.

In this instance however the commercial pillaging of tuna stocks all over the world is something I believe is real and if adding my name to a list helps then I'm all for it.  A close to home example is what happened to the bluefin stocks off South Australia and Victoria.  They are thank goodness recovering now.  Each to there own.

The south australian blue fin stocks hey!?

yes the australian commercial fleet remembers it well. They were blamed for the dwindling numbers and then shut down by the government resulting in hundreds of owners going broke.  Only weeks ago fisheries addmitted that it wasnt the locals to blame but huge japanese fleets taking all, further off shore.

Our navy should be out there stopping those countries from killing everything from Whales to turtles. They are so bloody greedy and there is way too many of them.

after reading this and the small cuts the Japs and other major tuna harvesting nations have made, I agree we should have a bigger control on the Pacific and Idian ocean tuna stocks, cause once the Atlantic is barren where do you think the Japs and others will head next to rape pillage and plunder???
I can't even take three tuna on fishing trip in my own waters, yet these nations can sail the globe and take almost as much as they like. Japan has been caught many times with big filthy hands in the cookie jar! so why trust them now on this deal????
