The one thing you will notice is that not one of the NSW pages will tell you that the amount spent of fingerlings is a fixed percentage of what is raised, which is what the current Queensland system does.
Tried it the other day and still getting same result.

All money raised by the NSW Recreational Fishing Fee is placed into the Recreational Fishing Trusts and spent on improving recreational fishing in NSW.
Hundreds of projects have been funded from recreational fishing licence fees in NSW since 2001. This Investment Plan provides a guide on expenditure of funds on projects in key priority areas from the NSW Recreational Fishing Trusts over the current three year period (see enclosed tables). New projects to take account of any new emerging priorities for expenditure of Trust funds are periodically added to this Plan following annual funding rounds.
A range of partners are undertaking the projects in this Plan, including DPI, other government organisations, fishing clubs, community groups and universities. The NSW Government also continues to contribute funding from general state revenue every year to manage and improve recreational fishing in NSW.
Priority areas for funding opportunities
1. Fishing enhancement – e.g. fish aggregating devices, artificial reefs and fish stocking
2. Education – e.g. fishing workshops, Fishcare volunteers, schools education, fishing advisory
3. Fishing access and facilities – e.g. fishing platforms, cleaning tables, safety infrastructure & other facilities, protecting fishing access
4. Aquatic habitat rehabilitation – e.g. habitat action grants to improve fish habitat.
5. Research on recreational fishing – e.g. fishing surveys, stock assessment, angler catch projects.
6. Enforcement of fishing rules – fisheries officers
What have previous Trust Investment plans delivered on?
Fast facts:
•
Boosted stocking in creeks and dams to around 4 million native fish and trout and salmon each year.
• Offshore artificial reefs constructed off Sydney, Shoalhaven Heads and Port Macquarie. More reefs to follow soon.
• 30 fish aggregating devices deployed each year to boost angler catch.
• Around 100 schools and 5,000 kids participating in 'Get Hooked...it's fun to fish' program each year.
• Fish habitat grants provided each year to remove barriers to fish migration, replanting river bank vegetation and restoring water flows.
• Over 4 million prawns stocked in estuaries each year.
• Fish cleaning tables and fishing platforms constructed each year.
• 300 Fishcare Volunteers out and about promoting responsible fishing.
Does not say if admin costs are deducted from fees but appears that their scheme covers a lot more than the Qld SIP.
it does state
"The NSW Government also continues to contribute funding from general state revenue every year to manage and improve recreational fishing in NSW. "
Which appears to be more than what happens in QLD.under both administrations

I have glanced over the pages of the documents. Seems of a lot of funds raised goes back into Govt coffers via management, loan repayments, research, monitoring etc etc.
I have always made it clear, I personally do not support a licence here in Qld.
We raise over $5mill each year via the RUF from boat registration. Those funds some how got shoved out of Recreational Fishing Enhancements and plonked into general revenue, I could be wrong ? Mike ?
Need to get back on the horse.............
