Hi all

We don't seem to have a MRFAC tab, so have just put this under general.

Just received a PDF copy of a media release, given to us from the ANSA president about an hour ago, sent to our fishing club

More resignations as Whetstones fishing council sinks 

There have been multiple resignations from the Marshall Governments Recreational Fishing Advisory Council. 

The Opposition has been told that four Council members have resigned from the Council, which is the responsibility of Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Tim Whetstone. 

The members who have resigned represented a range of fishing organisations including RecFish SA, South Australian Fishing Alliance and FishinSA. 

Quotes attributable to Shadow Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Giles Eddie Hughes 

The startling number of resignations proves once again that the Ministers Recreational Fishing Advisory Council has been a complete failure. 

When the Minister created his own hand-picked Council he undermined the importance of having an independent recreational fishing voice in SA. 

The establishment of the Council is just one of many bungles in the fisheries portfolio. 

The state-wide ban of snapper has also created great financial hardship and stress. 

It is clear the Minister is out of touch when it comes to both recreational and commercial fishing in South Australia.
