RECREATIONAL FISHING SECTOR — MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENTS
I refer to the recently announced changes to the management of the recreational fishing sector. (1) What better management measures does the minister believe will come from the recently announced changes to this sector? (2) Why can these changes not be introduced without the inclusion of licence fees, if the fishery is in such a precarious position? Hon NORMAN MOORE

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of the question. (1) The measures I have recently announced for recreational fishing will assist in more effective community education, research and compliance programs. Monitoring of the fishery will also be enhanced to enable an assessment of the effectiveness of the new measures. (2) The licensing arrangements form an integral part of the measures I announced for recreational fishing. These arrangements will facilitate the collection of improved stock management information generally and diminish fishing activity for west coast demersal scalefish. Funding raised through the measures will supplement existing funding already contributed by the government for recreational fishing in the state. I am delighted that the shadow Minister for Fisheries has, at last, raised this matter in this house. I thought that having had three weeks of public debate on this issue in the Assembly, it might have been raised in this place. I am delighted that the shadow minister has raised it in this place. I would be very happy at any time he likes to have a debate about recreational fishing. I am happy to debate his proposal, which was roundly condemned by everybody, and what this government is seeking to achieve. I would really like to do that some time. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich interjected. Hon NORMAN MOORE : Opposition members are complaining about it; I am not complaining about it. Normally, when the opposition does not like something that the government does, it raises the issue in Parliament. The opposition in the Assembly has done that three weeks in a row, but it has not done anything here, which I was surprised about because the shadow minister is in this place. The shadow minister understands it better than the Leader of the Opposition. The shadow minister has been through this himself and he knows the issues surrounding the recreational fishery. He took a decision in government to try to cut the catch by 50 per cent. He chose a course of action. I would love to know at some stage whether that is still his position. If it is, everybody needs to know.
