This Minister has something against Cronulla otherwise, why would you close a World class facility only to try and replicate it in 13 new places? and lose experienced and highly trained staff in the process? while destroying families as staff are left jobless in these tough times or making staff move away from their families and support networks?

I am sooooo confused!

And they don’t understand that fisheries staff Cronulla are near a major transport hub, and are equally accessible to ALL NSW, regional and metropolitan alike. So they think it is a good idea to put fisheries in a regional area. Now fisheries will only be easily accessible to one region, the rest will miss out.

So this decision is because the minister is only taking advice from senior agriculture division bureaucrats, and refusing to even meet with fisheries staff.

Reason & logic thrown out the window!

Remember, these are less than 150 people who could get near 20,000 signatures on a petition in just a few weeks.

Think what they could gather in votes to the anti closure (anti-coalition) party of their choice!

Oh, and why upset a lot of them, then send them to 2 marginal liberal electorates? A play by the nationals against the liberals?
