O.K., so it's Dhufish I'm talking about, although so many people still call them Jewfish here on the Left coast.
The problem I see is that, in commercial fishing, along with the firearm laws, the innocent people are paying the price for the few who have caused trouble.
The W.A. Govt has set the fishing limits for commercial fishermen for decades - now they've just whipped the rug out from under them with a total ban - and no consultation.
In addition, the State Govt does nothing to allow shark fishing (in fact, it's totally banned), and sharks are proliferating to the detriment of commercial fishing.
To top it all off, overseas-based fishing fleets are allowed to plunder our waters, with bugger all chance of being caught. This is not just a W.A. problem, it's a world-wide problem.
The commercial fishermen have only just managed to get the Govt to agree to a meeting between themselves and the Govt - but the Govt decision-making has already been carried out.
This is not how democracy is supposed to work, IMO.
