West Aussie has fishing licences also, only the 'skipper' of the boat needs it here, so he can take out non licenced anglers.

We have soo many non fishing areas it gets confusing.

PROPOSED MARINE PARK CLOSURES
Monday 8th August
Businesses Australia wide need to be aware of what is happening to our coastline with regard
to marine park closures. If you are unaware, as are many other people, of the processes
that HAVE ALREADY been put into place by the Labor government in a deal struck with
the Greens Party, then you need to read this press release as it will hopefully inform you of
the urgency of the situation. Please look at the map enclosed with this information package
and you will see that closures suggested cover excessively large parts of the Australian
coastline. If these marine park closures come into affect, businesses and families not only
stand to lose a substantial portion of our fishing and recreational coastlines, but also the
revenue that these areas generate.
The Labor government have sprung these closures on us just prior to the election, giving
businesses very little time to gain a full understanding of the far reaching ramifications
that this proposal will have on industry across Australia. They have chosen these areas
on a quota basis with no scientific evidence to support their decision. The closures are
simply a deal made with The Greens to secure preferential votes in the upcoming election to
assist the Labor party in winning the election. The Global financial crisis although deemed
to be over, is still significantly affecting industry across Australia, yet Labor and The Greens
still deem it a viable proposal to discriminate against Australians through taking away
their livelihoods by simply removing their places of work. These proposed closures are no
different to the government saying that you will no longer be allowed to build houses in
Coffs Harbour, sell fuel in Newcastle or build boats in your factory. What they are proposing
with these marine parks by closing large areas of ocean is exactly that. Businesses in any
way related to the fishing and boating industry will suffer! As will other businesses that rely
on these industries for their livelihoods.
