Not on PIRSA'a website either?http://www.pir.sa.gov.au/fisheries/recreational_fishing/target_species/squidNot one of these four species by the looks...

Loligo Squid (Loligo formosa and Loligo chinensis) is also known as Hawkesbury squid. They have mottled pinky-purple skin, long thin bodies and pointy side fins that run about half their length. Typically they are about 20cm long and weigh 100g and are found in estuaries along the NSW coast. Gould’s Squid (Nototodarus gouldi) is also known as arrow, torpedo, or seined, squid. They have smooth, light brownish-pink skin with a purpley-blue stripe running down the tube and average 600-800g. They are found around the southern Australian coastline from southern Queensland to Geraldton in WA. Southern Calamari (Sepioteuthis australis) have mottled purpley-brown skin with long, rounded side fins running almost the full length of their body. They are typically about 16cm long, weigh around 150g and are common in coastal bays around southern Australia from Brisbane to Shark Bay in WA, with most of the commercial catch coming from SA. Northern Calamari (Sepioteuthis lessoniana) have thick, dark browny-green bodies with long side fins running almost their full length. They average about 15cm, weigh about 500g and are found around Australia’s northern coast from northern NSW to south of Shark Bay in WA. Most of the commercial catch comes from southern Queensland in winter.
