I have already apologised to all the stakeholders for making
this tough decision, which we have made on behalf of future generations of
fishers.
Mr Lachlan Hunter interjected.
The Speaker: Member for Central Wheatbelt!
Mr Roger Cook: We want people to be able to enjoy
fishing the same way that our parents and grandparents did. We want our
grandkids to be able to enjoy that opportunity as well, but we have to make the
tough decisions now for the future generations of fishers.
The Speaker: That concludes question time.
