This doesn't look good lads and lasses.
These fukers need there heads read, as with most of our industry's, export as much as possible and screw the locals into paying elevated prices for our natural resources.
We are paying far to much for Meat, Dairy, Timber, even rubbish for that matter.
This sucks

I know these homos have lots of money thrown at them for doing these sorts of study's and have all spent years at Uni been taught what the BS in the books say and lack in practical experience. One thing I am beginning to learn with all my study and collection of data is fish as most species have cycles i.e good years and bad, this goes for spawning groth and catch rates and each year the species can change i.e. this year the snapper count could be down but the Gurnard or Kingfish could be up. Weather pattens, moon phases, tidal flows etc. all effect this. if I know this as a dumb ass with no uni experience these idiots will differently know this and can dictate the results to clearly show whatever they like. If you looked at 2007 snapper fishing was booming and compare it to a couple of years later it was flat. 2011 was a good year and this year (2013) has been a little slow, but we have picked up a few snapper in winter, in places you wouldn't normally. Things move and change we may have a better winter than other years next year could be a complete shocker followed by 2015 been a boomer.
A wise man once said to me when something doesn't seem right, Think about this: Who is most likely to benefit from this and why?? should they benefit from this??
If stocks are improving why make such a radical change?
