    If the super trawler is actually poaching why would your government sit idle?

    It's unfortunately not poaching to the state gov. They are going to let it to come and pillage stocks, unless we do something about it.

    Its our job to let them know that the people do not want it to come and that it's not welcome here. If the federal government Is made to believe that this is not in the best interests of the country they will stop it. Is just showing them that

    Hi all,

    Thanks to all those signed and who have all voiced concern about this super trawler coming to Australia.

    Im sure you will all be happy to know that the Australian Government has just passed a bill that will prevent the super trawler fishing for at least two years. Plans are on the way to make this permanent.

    Im sure everyone would agree that this is a major win for the stock, local fisheries and the community.
