"You may not be interested in Fishing/Visiting the Coral Sea Today, but your Grandchildren might be Tomorrow"

"The Australian Federal and State Governments are being Bombarded on a Regular Basis from OverSea's, Supposedly "GREEN" Environmental Lobby Groups, to PARTLY or COMPLETELY CLOSE various Sections of OUR AUSTRALIAN WATERWAYS.
These Waterways BELONG TO YOU, not some American or other Country's "GREEN" Group.
AUSTRALIA needs to STAND UP and DEMAND that ALL LEVELS OF Australian Government, Protect Australia from Infiltration from International "GREEN" Groups.
Australian Governments need to realise that this is Australia, and as such, WE the Australian Public have the RIGHT to FISH, HUNT, VISIT, and ENJOY OUR COUNTRY and it's ENVIRON."

A bit long winded but I'm sure you get my meaning.

EcoFishersQld is releasing a petition saying pretty much that. I believe it became available for signing yesterday at The Tinny and Tackle Show, and is available in other places too.

Cheers,

Not to make too much of an issue of it but Pew has a very diverse investment strategy and they are very careful and get very touchy when you try and brand all of Pew with the same brush.

SO just so we know, we are dealing with the Pew Environment Group in Australia who are a Not For Profit organisation.

This is quite distinct from the Pew Fellowships which are being offered to Australian scientists producing research to demonstrate the benefits of large completely closed reserves.

There is a lot of discussion about the Pew modus operandi around the traps - check out http://www.offsettingresistance.ca/ . While they may no longer have direct investment in the Oil industry, you can bet that their investment portfolio is wide ranging and not all "clean green".

Lets keep our eyes open and on the game - they are not happy with Garrett's announcement and are arrogant enough to believe that they will change his mind
