A BEREJIKLIAN Government MP has revolted against his party’s policy, backing his “local fishing community” over his Government’s plan to introduce 25 new marine park sites across the state.
According to an article on the ABC website, Adam Crouch, the Liberal MP who holds the Central Coast seat of Terrigal, ignored his party’s line and released a statement calling the NSW Government’s proposal, announced last month, “too extreme”.
Mr Crouch said fishing was an “integral” part of the region’s lifestyle and economy.
“My concerns align with many of the comments being made by our local fishing community, whom I support,” he wrote in his statement.
“While it’s just a proposal right now, I want to be clear, I believe what’s on the table is too extreme and won’t work for my community.”
