The super trawler Abel Tasman will be prevented from fishing in Australian waters until new scientific research is carried out, in a bid to appease community concern about the ship.
This is good news, however the "super trawler Abel Tasman" should be paying for the research to be done (or at least some of it) if it wants to fish in our waters. I still don't know who and when a license was granted to catch 18,000-tonne quota of jack mackerel and redbait in the first place. Was it the present government.
