Hawkesbury Marine Park Proposal

Hi All,

It's with great regret to announce that the greens have finally tried to invade the last frontier of the NSW marine region. The Hawkesbury mrine bio region spans from stockton beach in port stephens past sydney all the way down to wollongong in the south.

The greens have some serious clout this time. They have luminaries like Valerie Taylor, the hag who got bitten by a shark 20 odd years ago. Too bad it didnt finish her off. Clover Moore... enuf said, and other political back benders and rubber armers. The greens obviously know they will need some clout this time round cause it will be a big undertaking. Sydney has over 1 million anglers and if mobilised could counteract this movement. But as has been shown in the establishment of other marine protected areas, anglers are an apathetic bunch. Unity in voice is not thier biggest strength. Unfortunate. Drama is, unless anglers are directly affected, they are loathe to unite. We could be an immense political power, able to create our own legislation and govern our own sport.

The Hawkesbury bio-region will unite a large percentage of anglers, thats for sure. But now is the time to act. Everone must write and lobby against this proposal before it gathers momentum. If there is enuf backlash the ruling Labor party will not jeorpadise thier already unstable government and try to implement this. 1 million voters swinging the other way will overthrow them...along with the greens.

So lets do this.

Dear Premier & Ms Tebbut,

As a recreational fisherman I vehemently oppose the proposal for a Hawkesbury Marine Park. I feel so strongly about this issue that should it go ahead, I will not vote Labor at the next State Election.

A Hawkesbury Marine park has mobilised the one million strong recreational angling community and you can expect to feel the political backlash on an unprecedented scale. You would be best served to dispel any speculation by immediately announcing that a Hawkesbury Marine Park will never happen under a NSW Labor Government.

Regards,
