“This is a resounding result for DPI Fisheries officers who have worked hard on this case for several years. It’s also a win for the hard working commercial fishers who fish legally and responsibly throughout the state.”

Ripper beauty.

yes good result. good to see the penalties handed out for something that was for pure greed and the fact they could not give a stuff about the fishery or others whose livelihoods depend on it. Shame they didn`t close the retaurants down as a warning to the others that buy off the black market.
