Labor stands for safe, secure, well-paid jobs, and we welcome today’s FRDC report into the development of a Tasmanian Sardine Fishery.

The report found that there is significant potential to establish a substantial new fishery which is hugely promising news for the sector.

Tasmania’s seafood and aquaculture industry is already world-renowned, and for good reason.

The prospect of developing another opportunity for the sector in the form of a new sardine fishery is an exciting one.

When the science stacks up, Labor will always back in job creating opportunities like this one.
