Our federal government has decided to jump into bed with the worst of the radical Greens in the world and create a massive marine park in the Coral Sea.

This is part of a bigger proposal which, if it succeeds, would mean that Australia would possess just over 40 per cent of the world's marine parks area in our offshore waters.

The radical Green group, PEW, whose basic policy is to ban any sort of fishing, anywhere in the world, is behind this astonishing decision and the fact that our duly elected representatives are prepared to hop into bed with this sort of mentality is, quite frankly, very scary.

Next time you see Greg Combet, my local federal member, or your own, ask them: "What's the logic behind this plan?"

The evasion will be astonishing.

Lightening the mood slightly and the southerly change ambushed golfers, bowlers and fishos alike on Sunday.

The Dora Creek golfers were safely ensconced in the clubhouse when the rain finally arrived, unlike the bowlers and a lot of fishos who'd ventured forth on what was a magic morning.

Bruce Murray was out early and had lured up a couple of kilo and three half-kilo flathead and a couple of silver trevally when the "breeze" sprung up.

He then had to bash his way back from near Coal Point to the ramp at Balcolyn.

Bruce said it was a hard trip back in his 3.8-metre tinny but not nearly as tough as it was for "the kid in the little 10 footer," who'd taken nearly an hour to travel half the distance.

That's it. No, Amanda. Light beers do not weigh less than full strength ones.
