RECREATIONAL FISHING FEES — VESSELS UNDER 4.4 METRES
I have a supplementary question. Is it not the case that even members of the government’s backbench have told the Premier how out of touch he is with the Western Australian fishing community on this issue? Several members interjected. Mr C.J. BARNETT
