Labor Sanctuary (No Take) Zones out of touch with reality – Just see the Ad!
A $1.2 million TV advertisement for Labor’s Marine Parks Sanctuary (No Take) Zones stars a young fisherman crabbing on Pt Noarlunga jetty.
The only problem is crabbing is banned on Pt Noarlunga jetty.
“There couldn’t be a more graphic representation of how out of touch Labor is with reality over the implementation of its Sanctuary (No Take) Zone policy,” Shadow Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Michelle Lensink said.
“Coastal communities have being crying out for the Weatherill Labor Government to understand the devastating impact Sanctuary (No Take) Zones would have upon them.
“It is clear from this advertisement, Labor doesn’t even understand the rules currently in place.”
In addition to advertising illegal crabbing, the Marine Parks Sanctuary (No Take) Zone advertisement depicted the young fisherman without a hat or bait bucket.
In the space of one TV advertising campaign the Labor Government has advertised an illegal activity and abandoned its ‘Slip, Slop, Slap” policy.
“The staggering irregularities in Labor’s $1.6 million advertising campaign are indicative of the government’s cavalier attitude to the entire Marine Parks project,” Ms Lensink said.
“They failed to heed the concerns of regional communities, failed to listen to the concerns raised by the Liberal Opposition, and now fail to observe the law or basic common sense in sanctioning an advertising campaign celebrating the entire mess.
“This is a $1.2 million mistake by Minister Hunter. The responsibility lies with him.”
