ANTI-AUSSIE ANGLER PLANS EXPOSED
"LOCKOUT" Flood Gates Are Open!
Keep Australia Fishing has been keeping Australia’s recreational fishers informed about the ‘Biggest Aussie Angler Lock Out’ that the Labor Government, supported by the Greens and anti-fishing lobby groups are wanting to be implemented through the Commonwealth Marine Park process. The proposed Marine Park LockOuts will see Aussie Anglers locked out of over 1.3 million square kilometres of our seas – and so far the Labor Government has not told us any reason why they need to do this!
You have been asking us whether there are further plans to LOCK Aussie anglers OUT of our seas? Have the ‘LOCKOUT’ Flood Gates Been Opened?
The ANSWER IS YES!
The attached indicative map was assembled from the Government’s proposed Marine Park plans as well as Marine Reserve proposals from environmental groups. The map shows proposed areas of marine reserves where recreational fishing would potentially be banned. The Labor Government has now set the precedent that Aussie Anglers will be banned from all future Marine National Parks – and again – they have not told us why we need to be banned. Diving, large scale tourism, cargo and bulk carriers and defense activities will still be allowed in these areas. Does a recreational fisher really pose a greater risk to the marine environment than these activities? We don’t think so.
If implemented these anti–fishing proposals would see major impacts on YOUR RIGHTS to go fishing – in fact it's hard to see a state or a region where your fishing rights would not be severely eroded.
And there is no need for this. There is no reason why recreational fishers need to be banned from vast areas of marine parks to have a world leading marine reserve system. There is no science to support these LOCKOUTS.
We are calling on all Candidates and Political Parties to support our call for an independent comprehensive scientific review of the Marine park process. Let's see what’s really behind the ‘Lock Outs’ and build a Marine reserve system based on science - not politics.
We need your Help to get our message to Political parties and to show YOUR Fishing Rights Matter.
It’s obvious that many politicians just don’t want to listen. However, you can help us make them listen and take notice by reminding them that there are 5 million recreational fishers in Australia and WE FISH and WE VOTE. We have less than 26 days to make a difference, but we need to SPEAK UP!
Share this message far and wide. Forward this message to all your family, friends, fishing mates, work colleagues, next-door neighbour and anyone else you think might be interested.
Write to Kevin Rudd and tell him: DON'T LOCK US OUT - HERE

How you can consider diving as having the same risk profile as bulk carriers, defense, cargo is beyond me. Diving is also quite different to recfishing because it isnt extractive-you dont take anything except maybe pictures.

Maybe we need a revolution? something has to change soon knee jerk reactions and piss poor funding waste of study/ research money is running this country into the ground as well as all the other money wasting skeams. Stopping the live export is another huge waste of money/ wasted stock it's not looking good! Rant over
I'm of the opinion that recreational fishers are benefiting from the reserves that are in place now and so can see benefits extending them.
the "cargo and bulk carriers" statement also displays a distinct ignorance because 'bulk' is 'cargo'.
will probably get banned or deleted now
The Rudd-Milne Labor-Green Alliance will lock away millions of sq kms of good fishing waters because they are under the undue influence of certain extreme international Green groups. And now the Katter Party are reportedly doing preference deals with Labor. So the Labor-Katter-Green alliance will mean less areas where you can fish. Which fishing spot will you lose next. The Greens wanted more than the million sq kms of the Coral Sea. They wanted new lock out areas near Fraser island and the Temperate East (federal waters outside Moreton Bay and north and south into nsw). Who is going to stop them locking rec fishers out of these waters. I have no intention of just watching this happen. The rec fishers in my electorate, Cleveland, were angry that 16% of the best fishing areas of Moreton Bay were closed to rec fishing, due to a Green preference deal. I am still opposed to that political, non-evidence based deal and continue to call for a review of the reasons why rec fishers, who generally fish sustainably, have been locked out of so much good fishing ground. In this federal election, only the LNP is unequivocally opposing new lock out zones.
Your pushing shit uphill trying to get anyone to believe a word you say after last election mark
But Mark, according to the LNP's Steve Dickson, the State Minister for National Parks, Sport and Recreation.Originally Posted by Mark Robinson MP
"Science played a key role in determining the marine park zoning."
"Recreational fishing interests were consulted on the current MBMP zoning arrangements and recreational fishing data was considered in the planning process. This ensured that the most popular recreational fishing areas of the Bay were excluded from green zones."
The Minister's full statementhttp://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/Doc.../5412T1858.pdf
Some suggest that existing parks could be left in place, but rec fishing in some form allowed. What do you think?
We are only half way through this parliament. Still some time cobiaman. its not over yet.
I hope so mark
It is politics to play all the hard shots at the beginning of their term and then offer all the sweeteners as we approach the next election believing/knowing that many have short memories and in turn vote accordingly.
Rudd is a movie star - never mind his recent history many have forgotten.
Also many will see the pain of hard decisions and not realise the gain or even if there was any.
I wonder what it takes to have a federal govt with vision and plans for prosperity that generates wealth and income rather than just taxing everything till it dies and then looking for something new to kill off.
Similar with total lock outs without any access or consideration to cycling with opening and shutting at times to allow sensible access is just plain sell out to the fruit-loop bin for preferences.
The yanks are a country of very dedicated hunters and shooters and many will see them as red-necks in that department BUT be sure their green fruit-loop bin knows they would be decimated if they tried their policies locally so they bring their ideas and money to fund and influence our policy makers and with great success.
We would have to be seen as the biggest nation of suckers on the globe and when you look at those that represent us internationally - it is no surprise.

I found this interesting; I'm not an Abbott fan but will not vote for a Labor/Green coalition, regardless of whether the relationship is overt or covert. I think there was a bit of a push from within the ALP to sever the Labor-Green loveknot.....I for one will be wanting to see very solid proof of this.

Twas not the ALP who delivered Adam Bandt his seat of Melbourne.

Mark you are showing some ignorance here. KAtter is the anti green and has been on record more than once on his opposition to angler lock outs among other outdoor activities being restricted by the greens. You are simply lumping him in with the rest as youre parties strategy is to limit the amount of protest votes going to other parties. You take us for fools.
