I haven't read too much about this but at face value it may be somewhat of a concern for our Southern Australian fisheries.

I can't see how this would benefit any of us except a couple of rich aussies who are in on the act and a foreign company. Perhaps whoever fills their tanks with diesel will be laughing. That's about it. Why let them start here?

I think it is****** distgusting.
Money hungry politicians allowing this to happen whilst they are in the process of trying to lock up huge areas of our ocean from all types of fishing to "conserve" it.
Bit of a contradction if you ask me.
Lock up some, rape the other...
