Queensland State Election Voting Open: A Call for Support of Local Recreational and Commercial Fisheries

Voting is officially open for the Queensland state election, and it’s time to make our voices heard. If you’re passionate about supporting our local recreational fisheries and the commercial fishing industry, now is your chance to vote for the future of these vital sectors.

For far too long, policies have been put in place that do little to foster the growth of the fishing industry, which provides jobs, sustains local economies, and forms a core part of our way of life here in Queensland. We need leaders who understand the challenges facing fishers—both commercial and recreational—and are ready to take real action to support them.

Let’s face it, under the current Labour government, there’s been a lack of meaningful support for local fishers. Their approach hasn’t done enough to strengthen the foundations of our fishing communities or protect the rights of those who depend on the industry. We believe it’s time for a change. We need representatives who are truly invested in the well-being of our fishing industry and who will listen to our concerns.

So, as you head to the polls, keep in mind who is best equipped to make a positive impact on the future of fishing in Queensland. Vote for the candidates who genuinely support local recreational fisheries and commercial fishing. Our industry—and our lifestyle—depends on it.

Now’s the time to act. Let’s secure a better future for Queensland’s fishing community by choosing leaders who will stand up for us. Happy voting, and here’s to brighter days ahead for all fishers in our state!
