Todd Walsh and his passion … a giant freshwater crayfish
Everyone has a right to their opinion, and I know many people on here have been through the wringer when dealing with conservation in Tasmania.
I’m not a member of any group. I never have been. I turn up if I believe it’s for the best. I know there are politics and legalese scattered throughout this whole process, anyone who doesn’t is kidding themselves.
Anyone who thinks we are all blind to what’s going on is also kidding themsleves.
I also know that I’ve watched nothing happen for 15 years re the lobster after a hell of a lot of posturing, grandstanding, promising, shafting and sabotaging. Finally there are actually areas nominated for the protection of lobster habitat.
I ask those who sometimes appear to consider themselves all over this whole issue (which frankly is impossible), what is the alternative?
What process could take place of this one and actually give protection to the habitat that remains?
Do we start again and go on for another decade? I’ve been in the firing line of people from both sides for years, and I’ll cop that; at the end of the day I want to make sure this animal has areas that will last the distance.
Anyone who knows me knows I don’t conform a hell of a lot.
I like lobsters and that’s about it. I find it pretty easy to sit behind a computer and catogorise my involvement. Go right ahead, water off a lobster’s back to me.
