What is a regulated fish??? What are you referring to??? Just so i can be clear.....BTW - no such beast as DPI...either Fisheries Queensland or more correctly Dept of Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry
Ohhhhhhh.....................Hmmmmmmmmmmm........You guys are thinking about this way toooooooo much.
Can I just point out section 12 of the Fisheries Act and you can make up your own minds as to how you wish to approach the issue12 When Act does not applyThis Act does not apply to—(a) the unintentional taking of regulated fish or marine plants if the fish or plants are not intentionally or recklessly injured or damaged and are immediately put back; or(b) the unintentional possession of regulated fish or marine plants by a person if the fish or plants are not intentionally or recklessly injured or damaged and the person can not, because of circumstances beyond the person’s control, put the fish or plants back immediately they come into the person’s possession; or(c) the use of a hand net to lift from water fish taken by other fishing apparatus; or(d) the use of a gaff to secure fish taken by other fishing apparatus.I wonder if the Magistrate would understand the excuse in respect to s.12(b)..."I couldn't put the fish back imediately because I had a camera in my hand!!!"BTW....... the responsible agent of the Act is the Chief Executive of Fisheries (section 20 Fish Act 1994) not the Department, not the Minister, Not the Premier or parliament, not even the Fishos.
