Couldn't agree more . Matt ImageUploadedByTapatalk1422585181.399050.jpgHard to know which side of politics are our ideological bedfellows?In theory it should be Labor given the “working class roots” of fishing/camping/hunting but they have been too beholden to the far left/green vote for years. The LNP brought us RAP and the Labor government(s) brought us the Great Sandy Straights and Morten Bay zoning, Grey Nurse Shark exclusions and other stupid rules like the (thankfully now gone) pectoral fin clipping,fillet at sea lunacy and reef fin fish closures. At a federal level it seems like we get more support from the Nationals and less from Labor (in part because theyare even more beholden to the greens federally) and at a state level Labor are starting to listen. I guess it will come down to the importance of our sport,as opposed to life’s other issues as to how we vote. I know it is a lot easier for business, AKA employers, under the LNP but I guess if we don’t have jobs,there will be much more time to go fishing. Vote carefully, not just for ourselves and our sport, but the long term and consider good local independent candidates as well, not just the party machines. Another issue IMO is the stupidity of the whole “just vote 1” message the majors put out. Bullsh!t. Make your vote count by numbering every box in order of YOUR preference so if your chosen candidate does not get up, at least your vote does not die with them. Number every box!!
