Earlier this year, both the State and Federal Governments imposed bans on commercial fishing, and recently held a secret meeting to propose additional bans that would impact Queenslanders.
The government has introduced bans on commercial fishing practices, including the prohibition of Gillnets from the Great Barrier Reef by mid-2027 and reductions in the allowable catch limits for Spanish Mackerel.
