Fishing on the Radio

04 Jul 2011

FISHING and the role it plays in Australian culture is the subject of the Australia Talks program on ABC Radio National tomorrow evening (Tuesday, July 5).

Fisho editor Jim Harnwell and angling activist Martin Salter will be the two main guests of the show, which is presented by Paul Barclay and broadcast nationally at 6pm (4pm in WA). Save Our Marine Life Alliance spokesman Tim Nicol and Dr Renae Tobin, from the Fishing and Fisheries Research Centre at James Cook University, will also be interviewed.

According to the Radio National Website, the program will discuss the cultural aspects of recreational fishing and the role it plays in Australia's society. It will also outline the "threats" facing anglers, particularly the spread of marine parks and loss of access to fishing areas. All up, it promises to be a lively and interesting debate.

yep,surprised that GetUp hasn`t tried to have the broadcast banned,they`re not into having any opposing views aired.

Be worth tuning in for, even if it`s just to hear how catty somla may get...

While there are some worthy groups in this lot who DO a lot of good things cant really see them having any real constructive input into this debate.

What questions would the AFO members like to put to this discussion ?

Let's have some suggestions and if you can't be bothered going to the website and doing it, put it up here and I'll do a bulk/aggregate submission.

You can probably get a podcast Gad.

No terribly new info. Just opinions we read on here as well as a reconfirmation that all green groups are full of idiots with a vision no longer than their noses and a depth of thought shallower than the sandbank Ted is stuck on.
