Can I bring in some chilli and lemon tiger prawns for the show table? Even if I don't win, I won't be going hungry afterwards.
I reckon you will end up with a few more friends lol

Ciaran will most likely be the judge (have not actually asked him yet) pretty pretty please with cherry shrimp on top.
I suggest bring a small group not just an individual shrimp and also encourage bring your own tank

Fisheries have moved on. Maybe it's time that hobbyists did too

BUT they still have the one piece of legislation that gives them the power to seize any fish at any time - Act 103a of their doctrine.
This piece of legislation is being utilised as an ultimate slap in the face for the ornamental fish industry.
It is like giving the police a law that enables them to destroy your car if they deem it a risk to be used as a hoon car.... They dont need proof, just need you to look at them wrong and they will steam roll you.
Being only a WA Fisheries thing, I still strongly suggest thar the PCS become more aware of this rule and stand up to the Fisheries and request transparent dialogue with someone within the WA Fisheries (who knows the rules and does not 'bullshit' their way though) in order to clarify what our rights are and what we need to do to keep the Nazis out of our fish tanks (and provide it in writing).
If the PCS continues to sit on their hands, then the Fisheries can, and will, seize all fish in WA that are not on the Importable List or bred under an aquaculture license.... Even if the fish have been here prior to 1984.

Doubt it the cost would be to high to do that, and logistics would be a nightmareBeing only a WA Fisheries thing, I still strongly suggest thar the PCS become more aware of this rule and stand up to the Fisheries and request transparent dialogue with someone within the WA Fisheries (who knows the rules and does not 'bullshit' their way though) in order to clarify what our rights are and what we need to do to keep the Nazis out of our fish tanks (and provide it in writing).

Just to supply an update about fisheries stance. I spoke to a fisheries rep 2 weeks ago while they were in promoting the current 'don't dump that fish' promo. She had some knowledge of the shrimp activities. Her understanding is that there are currently no further 'actions' (raids etc) planned by fisheries. They are however also very unlikely to ever confirm or enter into dialogue with anyone that they are fine to keep as this would in effect prevent further actions if they choose to take some. They do not like shrimp & do not want to encourage the keeping & constant smuggling of them. They cannot prosecute for keeping them, but can seize them if considered a bio security risk.
The raids themselves were driven by DAFF using local fisheries services.
Basically we have entered into a tolerence period where they are leaving it alone, but will need to be careful not to 'shove it in their faces' too much or further actions may occur. Shops will need to still be very careful selling them still.
So clear as mud, but no clear policy statements will be forthcoming from them.
Have a great meeting & be pretty confident the fishy fuzz have no plans to run the party.

Potential income from fines vs. (Budget crisis & public service redundancies/hiring freeze/pay freeze) * cost of operations.
Recon it's safe for now.
