Dismantling Marine Parks
Just to show how backward the WA State Government is with it's future marine park planning, in NSW they have started to lift fishing restrictions and scrap any future marine park planning because it is so unpopular with little benefits. This can be viewed by going to ABC.Net. AU/environment and clicking on Oceans and Reefs. In the State budget 14.2 mill. under the royalties for regions and the nationals Brendan Grills the capes to capes marine park is to developed up over a 4 year period.Now that is in Troy Buswell's electorate of Vasse and there is no doubt he is the driving force behind it and even though he has found a new way for the state liberal party to get into bed with greens it appears a few of his colleages want to get into the action and make a threesome or foursome or even more. We must somehow get them to address their most offensive behavour and follow NSW 's example.

good info
have you written to them and expressed that view?
i'm not suggesting it applies to you but general apathy is the killer of success in these pursuits.
we all love to have a gripe but shy away from actually making our voice heard in the right forum.
i received a reply from my comment on the SW marine park on the net.
they pointed me to a community information and feedback day in Bunbury shortly that i cant get to.
but the point is that we need to write to the pollies and let em know what we reckon.
