Reply With QuoteMaybe they should look toward rallying for govt subsidies or tax relief for australian retailers (esp. small business) wishing to sell quality australian seafood to the public instead.
I've had this one brewing for a while. Now that we are familiar with the full implications of the policy I'd like to know what people think on the issue, and I'm sure a few others would too. This is not about whether you are happy with our good seafood going overseas, but whether you think the fishing party's policy should actually be implimented. I am not proposing that the party be bound by the outcome of this poll.
Some light reading on the topic:

Perhaps I should have put an option for undecided/don't know yet/don't care.
Gazza that isn't much of a dive and could be a reflection of the economic situation and not a decline in catch. The current dive is probably due to the high value of the aussie dollar.
Please vote gazza, I know you care about this issue. The reason isn't obvious to me.
