[4x4frog]

dammit, bugger, stuff it. I only just saw this thread as of now....
I got dragged around the shops today, food shopping so not a total loss but could have spent the afternoon brainstorming and having a beer instead.
Well done guys. Here's to the future and a loud voice

[Lucky_Phill]

Thanks for the offer Brewguru and will get back to you. I have now spoken to a couple of others that are in the mix and if they agree, I will run with them first, but certainly if they hesitate you are next in line.

4x4 frog and brewguru please pm me your email address's ( and anyone else for that matter ) and you will go onto the SOBA ( inc ) list of supporters, that way you will always be " in the know ".

is SOBA a stand alone group or does it have links to any political parties??

[Chris Ryan]

Greg,

Even though myself and a couple of others are members of the AFLP, there is no link or alignment to a political party.

From The Secretary.

SOBA inc, is non-aligned to any political party although we do have one in our sights...... GREEN parties and those with a particular extreme/ mono-view of how the people of this country should spend their hard earned holidays and recreational time.

In fact any political party that does not have the will of the people that voted for them in mind or are guided by political ambition rather than providing the platforms to enhance the way of life that the common people deserve, will be a target of ours.

Our agenda is to educate and inform every member of society on the facts surrounding recreational fishing, whether it be the benefits to mental health well being, the provision of food for families, the steps needed to protect the fishery that we use, the positive interaction of family members, the lies told from extreme green groups, the political deal-doing behind the scenes and to provide a accessible location to gain this knowledge. All this is supported by the people that actually fish and fish with a passion that encompasses every aspect of this wonderful pass time.

I cannot emphasis enough the importance of making a stand and voicing your opinion on matters concerning the restrictions being placed on the recreational fishing members of todays society.

If SOBA inc had even 1% of the funding that is thrown at radical green groups our job would be so much easier and the general public so much more informed. That would equate to rumblings within the Government to an extent that questions would be asked.

Of course, our area of concern is Moreton Bay, which runs from the Seaway ( Gold Coast ) to the Caloundra Bar and offshore Moreton, Bribie and Stradbroke Islands.

Is it time to get off the soap box ? nah !!!!!!!

Cheers Phill
