It really does boil down to how the funds are dispersed ..... & what is the intent of a licence .
I agree that it shouldn't go into infrastructure like boat ramps ...... but fish cleaning facilities is a different kettle of fish (excuse the pun)
First up ... like NSW there should be pro licence buyouts of all estuaries near to large population centers ( no netting) . Fish stocking of estuaries (like NSW has done ) - some goes for areas like Moreton Bay / Great Sandy straights etc
It's a long term process - that is for sure but it needs the right input from the right people (not just government)
