Are you avoiding the question? Are you suggesting the coalition is only going to care about damage to the marine environment if it is in a marine park?



No, are you?

No. I think it's just more meaningless gibberish in coalition policy.

Feel free to 'interpret' it for us again.

And what are you doing if not interpeting it? Time and time again you show you don't have any arguments of substance so you just project your own faults back onto your opponents.

I think there is nothing there to interpret. Tell us what you think it means in practice PJ.

Yes, well I suppose something that doesn't involve the most costly and inconvenient solutions to purely hypothetical problems is too much for your minset to comprehend.

There are plenty of other arms of government to concern themselves with other areas. Plus there is the rec fishing consultaive body you saw fit to malign.

PS even some greens are now saying they may have got it wrong with their obsession with fishing bans rather than looking at pollution and degradation.

So we should have two separate government departments to assess development applications depending on their proximity to marine parks?

Is this you 'interpretting' coalition policy again, or are you just making it up as you go along?

No you are. Eg who said that marine park authorities would assess developement activities?

OK. They would 'have some input' into DAs, depending on their proximity to marine parks.

Would this be a rubber stamp, or would it actually have teeth? And if so, why deny the level of protection to other areas?

What is the point of having a different process for DAs depending on their proximity to marine parks?

Does the coalition policy, or your naive interpretation of it, actually mean anything at all? Or is it just more meaningless waffle?

It's a question of balance. Plus you keep ignoring the other half of the statement, ie they will remove the over emphasis on fishing as a threatening process. 

And if so, why deny the level of protection to other areas?

It's only natural that marine parks will have interest in and knowledge of areas within their jurastiction. You seem to have contradicted yourself too - your whole philosophy is one of total protection for some areas and even a relaxing of restrictions for the remainder.


What is the point of having a different process for DAs depending on their proximity to marine parks?

Ironic given you views on how fisheries should be managed.

Does the coalition policy, or your naive interpretation of it, actually mean anything at all? Or is it just more meaningless waffle?

It's your magical thinking regarding marine parks that's naive.

Their jurisdiction is the marine parks, or the marine environment. There is no good reason for the government department responsible for marine parks to have any authority over DAs, because their is no good reason to have different standards based on proximity to marine parks.

Perhaps you should give an example.

This makes your front papge article look more than a bit stupid, FD:


Minister to overturn recent changes to Marine Parks
25 May 2011


THE NSW Government is set to abolish changes to the zoning plans for the Jervis Bay and Solitary Islands marine parks made by the former Labor Government, Minister for Primary Industries Katrina Hodgkinson and Minister for the Environment Robyn Parker said today.

Minister Hodgkinson will today move in the Legislative Assembly that Labor's recent zoning regulations be disallowed.

The decision means fishing rules in both marine parks will revert to those in place before March 2011, which have been in place since 2002. The use of the marine park for recreational purposes is unchanged.

The Ministers said there will be thorough community consultation before any future zoning plans for Jervis Bay and Solitary Islands marine parks are implemented.

"The NSW Government is committed to commonsense marine parks policy that is based on science, not politics," Minister Hodgkinson said.

"We will disallow these most recent changes, overturning Labor's politically motivated plans for Jervis Bay and Solitary Islands.

"This will ensure the fishing rules revert back to those that have been in place since 2002, which the community, in particular the fishing community, had only just become accustomed to.

Minister Parker said the NSW Government has also committed to an independent scientific audit of the effectiveness of the existing zoning arrangements within marine parks.

"Any marine park policy must find the right balance between protecting the marine environment and providing opportunities for fishing, diving, whale watching and other activities that generate opportunities for tourism," Minister Parker said.

Minister Parker also welcomed greater scrutiny of marine parks.

In a press release the Australian Marine Conservation Society has slammed the government's decision, which it says will see the percentage of sanctuary zones in the Solitary Islands Marine Park reduced from 19 to 12 per cent, and trawlers allowed back into Jervis Bay Marine Park.

Spokesman for the Nature Conservation Council, Pepe Clarke, has also condemned the zoning decision, saying complaints about inadequate consultation are ridiculous.

"In the case of Solitary Islands more than 6500 submissions were received in response to the draft zoning plan. There were dozens of stakeholder meetings and community information days . The consultation extended over a three month period," Clarke told the ABC.

"So any claim that this zoning plan was rushed through in the dying days of the previous government is unfounded."

Ok. It seems I loose.
The Libs have opened up a lot of Reserves/Santuaries/etc for Fishing.

Guess I'm gonna have to don my scuba gear and start drilling holes in boats for some more wreck dives ...especially French Fishing Boats. Shouldn't be any different to when I used to wear black trackies and get around all of Sydney city upon very rainy nights - even in front of unseeing cops. Even the Lodge was not spared when a mate and I lived at Kirribilli (that old white buiding that housed junkies/alcos/hookers). Kinda helped when Keating's security guards were asleep though Wink.

Is what I am doing wrong and detrimental to the wellbeing of this nation's future in a most selfish way? Quite possibly. Undecided
I'll stop at x100 Fishing Boats as if I too am 'restricted' from going over a quota. Its a 'sustainable' amount I'm sure.
