RecFishWest Membership
In amongst the discussion about the present Demersal saga, I have noticed some people are pointing out that RFW are funded by the State Government.
This is largely true.
HOWEVER
You can choose to support Recfishwest, for only a few dollars a year.
https://recfishwest.org.au/become-a-member/
There are countless peple complaining that "RFWdont represent me poperly", while not even forking out the equivaent of 2 cups ofcoffee a year.
By joining as a paid member you are reducing this reliance on the incumbent government.
The more people join, the less reliant on State funding

Everyone's just winging it.

Hmmmm
I would be defending rfw here had their working group submission been something that wasn’t convoluted and messy or actually contained enough in there to meet the 65% reduction fisheries wanted. I won’t go into details beyond that but there were very strange things in there which only muddied the waters imo.
Rfw is already funded by US through license fees. Former heads of RFW I think were so hasty in trying to introduce a revenue stream through licenses that they didn’t stop to consider that moving forward government would control them unless there was some binding business rules to reserve funding from license fees to fund the peak body that rfw is meant to be regardless of whether government wanted it. Otherwise the rfbl was always just another tax to general coffers.
There is failure everywhere in this cluster bomb of shit we are facing so I’m not trying to single out rfw. But my question is if rfw can be so easily outplayed and outmanoeuvred and out politiced by Wafic and the dept and ministers office what’s the point of them existing at all in their current form? They will need to show me that a line in the sand has been drawn at this point before I would be funding them anymore than I do. You’d be better writing to mark McGowans office directly at this point.
im sure you’re very disappointed in the outcome given you’re involvement but it achieved next to nothing. Despite your best endeavours. I know the feeling,

Jamie you only need to look in the mirror to see where the problem lies.
In case that is lost on you, let me elaborate.
Joe Average, who doesnt have much clue about the background machinations of this process and brushes it off as "someone else will sort it" or "it wont make any difference so I wont bother" is bad enough.
A tertiary educated marine biologist who's only contribution is to sit back and smugly blame everyone else?
You, and people like YOU are the "failure everywhere" and the "cluster fuck".
A self fulfilling prophecy-thats your achievement, flitting around under various non de plumes.

I have had
I have had a couple of differences of opinions with Mr Chester previously on other posts,
Being a Marine Biologist he, perhaps more than most would have a better idea on how the fish stocks really are and, if as he claims he wants to help repel what the Government wants to implement then his continued negative comments do not support this.
Mr Chester either you are all in and want to help or you don't, and if you secretly don't then stop refuting the good work done by those on this forum and elsewhere who donate their time for all of us.
