David_C 768 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 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 EDDIE HUGHES MP Shadow Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Wednesday, 1 April 2020 More resignations as Whetstone’s fishing council sinks There have been multiple resignations from the Marshall Government’s 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 Minister’s 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.

mrfish 327 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 So who is actually left on the council? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David_C 768 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Not sure. Some people from the club believe this relates to the previous change that happened months ago - but this was only released late this afternoon. So not sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lure 230 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Personally not a fan of the MRFAC (just another committee) but not sure if SAFA has resigned. However I'm led to believe John (someone) has resigned. Steve David_C 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rybak 622 Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 SAFA has not resigned. They are not the ones appointed by Whetstone. Its the individual people that were appointed. Go to SAFA FB to get the facts. You should be a fan OF MRFAC as they are the only committee fighting for rec fishers !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
