    Tasmanian Liberal Senator Richard Colbeck, who will be the new Parliamentary Secretary to the Agriculture Minister, says he would like another survey done on fish stock levels.

    Senator Colbeck says that would be on top of an expert panel's work.
    "Once that scientific work has been done, then we will make our decision based on the science," he said.

    "I have to say across the board where I have been having those conversations, and I've had plenty of them, that's what people want.
    "They want decisions made on the science."
    Der! I wonder what the outcome will be?
    Senator Richard Colbeck has links to Seafish Tasmania, the company that brought the "super trawler" to Australia. And the good Senator has already posted on his own website he's looked over the science he's happy with the proposal for Seafish Tas to use the super trawler.

    Well you'll find Seafish Tasmania (operators of the super trawler) have only donated to one political party.

    Anyone against the super trawler needs to watch the doco 'Drawing the line'. I was totally against it until i watched this doco. Google it, very interesting.
