Thread: Good bye trout..what a fricken joke!!

There needs to be an urgent flea eradication program in parliament under the powers of the biosecurity act.

Bloody hell @Dundee thanks for posting that I can’t believe that there about to screw with all that revenue coming into the country let alone all the normal joe and joy (oh and Mr and Mrs Dundee kiwis) out of OUR HERITAGE that’s right! We brought the fecken things in here! You want to see what happens to rivers when you can buy fish just look at the Irish rivers around Galway.
Guess because the government can’t fix what’s broke they seem to want to destroy all that’s not!

Really feck off!

Yeah, culling would be too kind. Take the entire collection of coalition extremists and place them on one of the Auckland Islands ..... then they can really enjoy their pristine socialist eutopia.
When I say place them .... that's too easy .... drop them off about 1km offshore and let them swim so they find out how natural selection really works.

Forest & bird have been extremely active , one of my hobbies is gold dredging which is a permitted activity in some areas , anyway when councils have there long elaborate reviews every few years that's pages & pages long gold dredgers don't read that stuff & just like that F&B put a 2 lined sentence in there stating dredging & fossicking was permitted but not in the bed of river or streams ...and boom everyone's caught with there pants down & it could have been so easily fixed had someone in the no see it and contested it...my point is this we as outdoors people generally don't a have a head for this political crap we just like to get on with what we do , so we need to be paying someone that is in the "no" looking out for this rubbish and nip it in the ass before it passes , like they say prevention is better than cure .

Good on ya Pengy. I totally agree with you. Its not the man just getting enough for the family.

Yes. There’s a big problem here but guys (and girls) please actually do a little reading.
The draft bill looks totally rushed without a lot of consideration of anything other than a blind desire to “fix” the problem. There’s a fair bit in it that has the potential to be good. We are losing our native fresh water fish that’s the deal. Greens will be greens. You gave them the inch, now they’re trying for the mile.
The amendment does not directly target trout nor is it a mandate to eradicate trout. What it does do though is give overriding powers to DOC over Fish and Game. It also allows sports fish to be considered in Treaty of Waitangi claims.
Don’t jump to great big conclusions and then have a great big forum/social media moan or even worse, make a redundant submission.
Best option.
1. Go to Fish and Game website.
2. Find the report by Sir Geoffrey Palmer.
3. Read it (it’s not huge and it’s not hard reading).
4. Take onboard this considered legal opinion.
5. Make a submission and at the same time do your submission for Tahr.

Job done.
Thanks in advance from us fresh water guys.

Proves my point?
To be honest I dont think most of us are stupid. Its quite easy to confirm if you look hard enough that the vast majority are.
Don't be such a princess. If we were such a well organized bunch we wouldn't be in this mess for starters.
I'll get over your very clever picture before the end of breakfast.
My "wanging on" is born of frustration from the seamingly endless waste of energy that many offer up. So, just for you, I won't bother any further.
I'm used to just getting on with what needs to be done and I'll continue to make submissions where others don't/won't/can't.

Wonder what is next on the "lets get rid of them " list, bloody hell the government are a pack of brainless idiots .

my ansestors would say the same thing about pale skinned fellas in big wakas too..... using your logic does that mean I can turn cannibal ?????

Well, if all the Dairy farmers need to go out of business to save the waterways, then I guess this is only fair...…

(Yes I am winding you up, but as a Dairy Farmer I have been putting up with this shit for years)

Surely tourism NZ must have a stance on this. Its not only about us kiwi's as fishermen/women but this sort of crap legislation will affect a lot of overseas fishing tourists.
Maybe the tourism operators haven't thought it through yet
