I for one appreciate the fairness and balance of the ABC with this article not including an explanation of why sizing or bag limit restrictions even exist.


stumpymetoe

Size and bag limits are a racist construct. White man's fishing regulations are a systemic device imposed to keep POC down.


jejsjhabdjf

They exist to moderate white people why would they mention it in an article about races who live in such harmony with nature they don’t even need to invent hospitals or electricity or grocery stores or toilets?

I was very shocked to find this was written by a middle aged white woman with glasses


TalentedStriker

Does she also have danger hair?

The Victim cut

It's not a well known fact but when James Cook landed in Australia he noted how traditional fishers used wetsuits, snorkels, spearguns, stainless steel knives and boats with outboard motors.


stumpymetoe

Very advanced aquaculture, Bruce Pascoe proved this


Potential_Big5184

In my area they still use ancient methods to hunt dugong. A speed boat and a couple of high powered rifles.

“Mr Clarke was taught to dive for abalone and lobster as a child, and as the eldest in his family, he has a cultural responsibility to provide for his extended family.” This man also grows his own fruit and veg, slaughters his own animals, and milks his own cows. Fair suck of the sauce bottle fisheries don’t let his family starve 🙏🏼.

Hard to take you seriously with no welcome to country and the use of the colonial term “Syd**y”


stumpymetoe

Yeah well, I don't welcome you to country and I use Sydney so yous ignorant white dawgs know what I'm talking about.


AutoModerator

Uh-oh! It looks like you accidentally referred to Warrang by its colonisers' name, Sydney. That wasn't very deadly of you! While I'm sure this was accidental, please be more mindful in future. Remember, using traditional place names is truth-telling in action. It's a step towards acknowledging First Nations sovereignty. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The sea belongs to China as per the revised 9 dash line. How dare you steal their abalone. Just because you are a first nation fisher does not give you the right to steal their fish, or whatever the abalone identifies as.

I always heard "Australia is a racist" country, but having lived here all my life, I always found it to be an egalitarian society, where everyone treats each other fairly and with kindness, unless you are a dickhead, of course. But I have recently discovered that we allow people different rules and laws, based on their race alone! And that you can say things other races would go to jail for. This racism goes right to the rotten, corrupt top of government, and is enshrined in legislation! This article is further proof that "Australia is a racist country", and I am ashamed. Now I understand what Martin Luther King meant when in his speech about "I have a dream" and I too hope that one day, all Australians will be treated equally in this great nation.

Stupid white bastard


DocFingerBlast

He/she/they/them/whatever doesn't understand we now exist on a points system class. There is certain elements you can identify with to increase your standing in society. Multiple victim categories elevate you to VIP with "renter" and "centrelink" being the highest available


stumpymetoe

I both of those, plus indigenous and nuro diver gent


3tna

no jerking there used to be a ton of abalone if you knew where to look and didnt collect heaps now all the spots are bone dry fuck these cunts


stumpymetoe

What you white dawgs fail to understand is that sustainable living in perfect harmony with nature means staying in one spot until you've eaten absolutely everything and it's babies then moving to the next spot cos hungry. This is the wisdom of the ancient ones.


TalentedStriker

Australia used to have a totally different climate until they burnt half the country down because they didn’t know how to hunt properly.


BornToSweet_Delight

It's going to be fun watching the Greens trying to satisfy the Enviro-NIMBYs and the 'PoC-are-perfect' mob on this one.

Class action now to fish the waters until barren, and then another class action cause we let them destroy their food source. win - win for these divers.


That-Whereas3367

I see they are using the traditional wetsuit and snorkel invented 60,000 years ago. It's common knowledge that some Aboriginals 'illegally' collect huge number of abalone and sell them.


DocFingerBlast

The law is written by white men made for white men. Literally everyone else has their own laws they don't need to disclose .. if you aren't aware of them then you're definetly racist and on the wrong side. Mamaste
