Unfortuantley Levy, Duty and the like are exempt from being called a tax. That way the levy on fuel can also have GST applied to it too

So how will that work now with SEQ Water removing their support for impoundment restocking? Many dams affected by the floods are not going to be approved for restocking programs now. The increase in tourism for freshwater fishing, by and large, was a mere drop in the ocean. A good example yes, but not one that is generating millions in tourism.

Chris, while I agree that freshwater fishing's share of Qld's total tourism $$$ is not huge, it is many millions and for many country towns and regions it's the only permanent attraction they got.


Also can you expand on the SEQ Water move, or maybe a link? I haven't heard of this yet, ATM stocking groups are still putting fingerlings in, I know their Rec User Plan should be out late this year (or maybe next).
Cheers

Just for Finga's benefit Mike, ATM is not automatic teller machine

Mike,

Working on the SEQW thing as we speak. So far nothing linked or written but someone from a restocking group was told no to restocking in a major dam north of Brisbane recently.

When something either 'policy based' or 'written down' comes of it, I'll be sure to post. I thought it important enough to mention now so it doesn't get momentum.
