How many of you read the news page

[stevedemon]

Hi all

Just checking to see how many of us fisho's read the news page in which i remind you all, a lot of the media, Closures and ideas that are heading our way will affect all of us not just some maybe not today, but into the near future and some not so near, but already here. Yes we maybe only Fisher-Persons and politics does not interests us but we have to start to take a stand or start to sell all our gear as we will not beable to use it soon or enjoy the smiles of our kids.

Cheers
Steve

Mate,
I rarely go there, except I had a look at Moreton for Sale on saturday and that is some scary stuff, I also had a look at the link to the greenies web site and that scared me even more. It also got my blood boiling when I read the part where they state and now you can enjoy Moreton Bay from comfort of your office or living room or some such crap, they're using emotive shite to get support from people who don't get to the great outdoors and probably never will. Then they're using this support to stop me and one day my little bloke from getting out into these areas and interacting with and experiencing first hand this beautiful part of the world. Aaaaaagh! > > > > words fail me, maybe someone else could put this across in a better way, I can't I just want to type a lot of four lettered words and punch something.

Hi steve

nearly missed the poll at top of page, 70 views and only 25 votes.
Only takes a second to click (vote).
Hopefully it is just that people (nearly like me) have overlooked the poll,
rather than the dreaded apathy.

Sad to say that what you are now experiencing with moreton, is what
we have already sufferered with GBRMPA and associated Beattie
closures. Unfortunately you can lobby all you like, but just like in
the north it will be a waste of time.
Learn from our mistakes and make a stand. In the moreton bay area
you have vast numbers of fishos who could create major traffic jams
by targeting strategic locations, for instance a recent accident on the
gateway caused a traffic jam that effectively closed Brisbane airport.
Create a raw prawn award, targeting pollies, lobby groups, tourism
groups, media etc. Nominate winners via classifieds (weekly) to enable
fishos to personally deliver packets of raw prawns, Im sure you get
the idea.

i got an idea, tell me whats ya's think. important topics, such as the closure of moreton bay should be on top of the general chat page, then moved to the news section, when either the event/ topic has past its date. make sense?

cheers

There is a news page?

[stevedemon]

Hi all
comments made in the earlier post are pretty close to the mark but as for the news page i really think that we as fisho's should start to read as to what is going on around the different area's and maybe we can all help one another as we do when most of us are out fishing we never leave someone strandard but when it comes to fighting for our rights it seems to be some thing of a mystery as stated we still have freedom of speech for the time being but give it time.

The funny thing is that we are sending all our military over seas to get rid of the Bl***y dicktatiors madebe we should be bring them back here to get rid of some

but on a serious note we all need to know as to what is going on and not sit on the hands or stick our heads in the sand this will not make it go away.


choppa as for you not saying much a good debate is always on the cards when your not dealing from the bottom

lippa good idea but this is up to Steve (Ausfish) considering this will affect all fisho's

madmix as for delivering of the rare prawn to Government bodies me think there are enough sitting there now problem is they are to rotten to use they need more sun and water with besser blocks and chain attached as for the idea of block traffic you only pi## off the people that we need supporting us more to the point take it straight to Beatties office and camp on door step no in no out enough boaties and fisho's will give the message >

Shanyed yes soem of us have problems putting the anger in front of words but i think everyone knows and is felling the same anger make it count at the polls

I'll say it again Beattie Government and the Greenies have to go we vote we fish (1) but more to the point we also think >

Cheers
Steve

P.S see you on the water while we still can

[madmix]

Jeez steve, I thought I was getting extreme with interupting traffic,
but bringing in the army!!!!!!!!!!whew.
Camping out on Beatties door step (has merit but probably catch cold)
no one in or out. (now you are getting the idea)

But as far as target is concerned, think outside the square.
Beatties office little impact, news worthy, (aboriginal embassy has
been camped out in ACT for 30yrs)
