I love how these criminals think they can get away with this kind of thing(how many times have they) yet they keep trying and only what happens is law abiding people's get more rules and laws put against us
This is the start of the return of the bad old days of the 90’s and early 2000’s. The word on the street is the Fisheries Officers have already been sacked so it’s a free for all. Marine Parks which have been locked up for 25 years are a pot of gold to poachers. If the sackings go ahead no one will know about these activities other than the locals. They can call the reporting hotline but there will not be a response. If the crooks have no “risk perception” of being caught then this will escalate into a huge black market controlled by organised crime just like tobacco. The Victorian Fisheries Authority is more interested in holding events, giving away fishing rods and senseless liberation of fish into ecosystems without any science. The VFA are a dog and pony show NOT an authority sustainably managing fish resources. There are other options to find the budget cuts but it seems this is the ONLY option provided to the Minister. The three pillars to a sustainable fishery are Science, Policy and Enforcement. Good fisheries management is about limiting effort through bag limits, size limits, closed seasons, quotas and gear limits. If you don’t have enforcement then it’s open slather.
Penalise & Deport
Were they Chinese?
Goth is right
Must be a slow news day
Lucky they didn’t end up wrapped up in a rug in the back of a Ute parked it the boat ramp 🤔
GREED. Now to 'track down' the BUYER RESTRAUNTS.
Trumpism . Greed . Leave something for your grandkids you creeps.
What a massacre of those poor creatures
Deport.
If Everyone Was Vegan None Of This Would Happen!!! Ban Eating Animals!!
Name and shame. I’m from Phillip island and not a lot of us true locals are happy about the fisheries being shut down.
Labor most likely imported them.
So what happens to the abolone? Hopefully not thrown away….
They this for $$$ price in Australia while Asian countries get it for $$
Are they on bail already??
Another government stuff up
Why are the indigenous people who own the land and the sea not doing anything about this?
😂
Once Trump finishes gutting law enforcement, crime will run rampant in America. Which is expected since Trump is a convicted felon and life-long criminal.
Who cares
It isnt ALLEGED if we can simply see them
Usual suspects. Nothing will be done apart from a piddly fine, after all, we must be kind to “new” Australians.
Still weird how they just sit their n watch them wait for them to pack up then snatch em
Before even starting the video i guarentee every fisherman at least aussie woujld have said.. " Bet theyre chinese "
:29 WTF! don't worry bout the abalone just what is going on with this mofos hair
What a nightmare Imagration has become
It all gets back to Dan …. we are broke
