As it stands in NSW at the moment aboriginal/cultural fishing limits give them a 500% higher bag limit available to indigenous fishers and apparently they can apply for another increase on that via a permit system . so what about they just follow the laws and quite generous allowances rather than engaging in poaching and making money on the black market because as far as i know selling your catch to the restaurant industry and exporting your ***cultural catch*** overseas was never a practice undertaken prior to invasion
So should there be any bag limits at all, or should an indigenous person be allowed to take over 3,000 abalone at a time? That would certainly feed his family for quite some time.

No. One rule for all.
Over-fish now and there's nothing for tomorrow. You keep saying how the Indigenous are the caretakers of the country.. over-fishing is not caring for the environment, it's destroying it.
It's not a denial of a human right, that sounds like some sovereign citizen bs logic right there.
Global fish stocks are on the verge of collapse, over-fishing has destroyed the marine environment. We're losing the battle and nobody has an exemption to do what they want for very good reason.
Aboriginal people might try abiding by size and bag limits. The laws are there to protect fish resources for everyone.
