Fishery Policy: Statements.
I had the privilege of fishing in New Zealand some years ago and experienced the high standards set there, which I understand also apply in Australia. If one is visiting the country to fish, one must go through what is almost a major decontamination process. One is not even allowed to bring angling gear or boots into Australia because of the possibility of a parasite being introduced. These are the standards which must apply if we are to maintain the resource.
