A marine green zone that could cost the local fishing industry millions of dollars has become a key federal election issue.
Angry fishermen have planned a protest at Tweed Heads.
We were at the meeting for sustainable fishing at Tweed Heads on Sat. 14th. They were holding a peaceful rally to let us the people who fish know what was going on. Why would a member of the Greens Party come and disrupt it ? He should not be given any time or publicity his apperance was only to upset those who’s livelyhood and way of life is being threatened.
I jsut viewed the fishing prtest at Tweed River. As a fisherman I found it totally embrassing to see the typical redneck violently threatening and assaulting the greens candiate. The idiot should be charged with serious assault. A twit if there was ever one and a cowardly act. The twits behaviour only gives more ammo to those wanting more fishing reserves.
The fishing reserve argument may be based on science.
We should not let cowardly criminal beahiour as demomstrated today over-ride a good debate. I would be be surprised if this chap demosbrtaes the same bully cowardly behaviour to women. A dog act.
Your a bloody pansy Gary, typically that makes you a racist with your preconceived perceptions. You demonstrate a weakness that would see you relegated to peeling potatoes if Australia was in battle.
Serious assault ..? its more like an assault causing grievous bodily harm to the fisherman, pandering misinformation that our local fishery is mismanaged & pilfered to the point of locking it down, are you serious ?
The Greens want power Labor wants their preferences it already is a done deal politically. Pro Fishermen, Charter boats, our prawn trawler fleet, fish & chip shops, tackle shops, restaurants, processing plants have been here for many decades, you don’t just stick your head out and tell a Pro fisherman what he is doing is wrong without serious proof or a mental illness.
Its like me going up to your wife and saying Gary s to old there’s no go in him anymore, listen to me, shaft him lets do it this way its for the best.
With me yet bricklayer, wake up our fishery is healthy & abundant, just because other country’s have mismanaged their resource don’t mean Tweed Heads Pro &
recreational fishermen are to blame on the contrary, our local industry demonstrates growth as a result of sustainable fishing practice and improved water runoff management by land development.
The only criminal behavior is to forget what drives our town & region and treat it with the disrespect that Green Candidate showed to get on TV.
We are proud & passionate about our fishing fleet and industry,
Its the heartbeat of the Tweed bringing wild ocean caught seafood to our town region and its visitors.
And if the Greens or doomsday preaching anti fishing brigade carn’t take the heat stay outa the kitchen,
Support Tweed Fishermen the Heartbeat of the Tweed.
