Doubts have been cast over the independence of a NSW marine park advisory body after a senior Liberal minister appeared to indicate to a meeting of recreational fishers he had influence over the makeup of the committee.

The Government has long criticised the Labor party for rushing through the establishment of the Batemans Marine Park in 2006, which it said locked up prime fishing areas.

"I've got to say some of the green tentacles that exist across bureaucracy, where they just quietly go about just enforcing things, there's a lesson in that""The best [that] ministers can do is try and sweep through their agencies and look for where those problems are and then jump on them." "We've never been advised on any political views in any way whatsoever by any people on that committee," Cr Tait said.

"After the submissions were called to go on it, I had a phone call from Mr Constance asking me had I applied for the position — and I had."

Really? A giant wrecking ball?

MSMWatchdog2013 Get rid of marine parks altogether. The concept is stupid, thousands of family fishing firms have been put out of business and tourism has suffered. The fisherman's co-op in Batemans Bay was closed down and replaced by a fish shop selling seafood imported from Vietnam and China

The LNP showing their usual concern for the environment

Just for something completely different from the lnp - not. Beyond belief in their corruption. It’s in their DNA.

Is this an admission from the ABC & Tim Flannery ? could be.

Jobs for the boys ?
