On the news tonight, the WA Govt is to introduce a $30 per annum fishing licence if you want to fish from a boat. They say that stocks are threatened and the impact of recreational fishing must be reduced. If you want to catch the most at risk fish, snapper etc, the licence will cost $150 pa.

So if my wife and I want to go out into the estuary and get a few tailor for dinner we have to get a licence.

How is this money raising going to protect the fish? Are they going to buy baby fish?

Unbelievable.

And this on top of their discussion last month about taxing 4WDs off the roads.

And raising boat licence fees by a whopping amount.

And if you want to throw a line in off the beach you are in their sights too.

Colin Barnett seems to think he's the chosen one. Doesn't he understand that a drover's dog would have beaten the State Labor Govt at the last election.

I'm begining to wish I had voted informal.
