Bream are just seachickens, everywhere but not that tasty and a lot of bones. Bream are extremely slow growing a plate size can be 20 years old. The Snapper are awesome tasting, Gar etc lovely. The Jew is extremely tasty if bleed and gutted on the spot, many don't and this effects the flavour and shelf life.

Here one I caught, it's 71cm and was succulent and sustainable if the rules are followed.

I assume you mean Dhu fish , not Jew fish which is actually Mulloway. Molloway just means big fish. Mulloway are also a east coast fish and very fast growing. I catch them all the time and they are generally 3-5 years old as a big fish and reach legal fishing size of 70cm and capable of breeding, by 5-6 years they are 90cm or more. They can get to over 1.4 metres and live to 30 years. depending on the area they can grow very fast- here in Port Stephens we are renowned for them and its a major breeding area. The Port is a extremely healthy system , with limited commercial fishing and many areas that are sanctuary breeding zones, we are a giant national park and Ramsar bird sanctuary. We have a hatchery here as well to increase numbers back to sustainable volume following years of over fishing. The size minimum went from 50 to 70 cm, the flesh is sweetest in the 70-90 cm range and below 50 cm are called soapies and have a slight soapy smell and taste. Most of us will return any bigger to the water for breeding, we tend to "encourage" catch and release unless you absolutely want to eat it and treat the fish with respect at all times. I think the WA govt handled this really poorly but the closure of the fishery or at least restrictions are vital or the system will quickly collapse.

Albo has said he will not be joining the Trumpist gang and needs to focus on domestic issues... A polite way of saying fuck off.

I think you will find the best paid CEO rarely pays much tax at all.

Hockey is right - Dutton has no brain

Boat shoes, nup but find Dunlop Volleys are awesome for grip and comfort.

I refer not to militarism but the use of terrorism powers to do wholesale arrests of peaceful protesters for daring to support action in Palestine. This is a gross abuse of powers.

Police should be called a service not force, they are here to serve society. The use of black uniforms in some states is silly, its hot and sends the wrong image. The use of body cams in all interactions should be mandatory and a offense of office not to use it. Most critical incidents magically fail to get camera vision, this leads to a lack of trust in policing. Police should never be in charge of investigating police, its a massive conflict of interest. Police should never be allowed to hide their identity , they quite often do when policing protests, public order etc, this allows thuggish behaviour and zero accountability. Only speacial ops police should have such needs and then must wear clearly visible badge numbers. We are not like the usa or uk yet but its a slippery slope some right wing pollies would love to follow.

I will wear crocs or well fiited sandals on a boat or at home. Thongs are shit except for the g string type but thats another thing...

OME, At that price buy 10 pairs of thongs for any sudden blowouts...the shoes are a ripp off.

AKA...Organ donors.

Putanna and Xi would be very happy. Justifys anything they do if the US can do it, so can they.

Hey..thats my old Charger miss that beast, but not the dodgy rear traction.

We don't get refugees in Port Stephens, we call em terrorists. Commonly seen sinking boats on the ramp or riding jet skis. If they don't return they are called bait.

15 years to plug the bores? What a joke.

Here in OZ, the Lams system is a winner. Basically a sensible power to weight ratio, tat ,eams a large selection of motorcycles are approved if under 47hp and up to 210kg approx. Max capacity is 650cc. This allows a large range of small to medium size bikes that are adequate even to tour on and certainly enough to ride for many years and not get bored or suddenly find yourself moving up to a bike that far exceeds your ability. My Twin has just bought a new Truimph speed 400 for his partner for her brithday. Lovely bike and small enough for a small framed lady but big enough for fun and safe open road riding. Triumph have just released a recall for the timing chain and stopped sales until the bike is retrofitted. So it will be delivered with the change next week. We had to wait for a red tanked one, red is faster...

As a identical twin- No, the eyes and prints are different.

I am never amazed at how gullible people can be

Nev, Your going to be 68, celebrate that and enjoy dyslexia.

Burial at sea for me, straight into a shark would be best. Spend the bucks on a boat ride and party.

Yes , you can imagine a substitute teacher been harassed and losing it then going postal. It was hard enough teaching without also playing security.

From the same nut job NRA that wants teachers to be armed in class.

Goats are excellent mowers and tasty when the jobs done.
