Petitions
Victorian Fisheries Authority
Sam GROTH (Nepean) presented a petition bearing 21,789 signatures:
Issue:
We the undersigned residents of Victoria draw to the attention of the House that proposed cuts to the Victorian Fisheries Authority will leave the state’s fish stocks, marine parks and protected wildlife species virtually unprotected and vulnerable to widespread illegal fishing.
Action:
We, the undersigned residents of Victoria therefore request that the Legislative Assembly of Victoria call on the Victorian Government not to close 5 Fisheries Stations in Metro Melbourne or cut 73 fisheries officer’s jobs across the state, severely compromising Victoria’s ability to protect its marine life and enforce fishing regulations. These cuts threaten the sustainability of our commercial and recreational fisheries as well as severely impacting the protection of iconic Victorian marine species.
Ordered that petition be considered tomorrow.
