Amateur Fishermen’s Association NT CEO David Ciaravolo says Labor and the CLP have made a number of election commitments in response to 43 questions asked by the group, with both promising to phase out gillnetting.

He told Katie Woolf the reforms will be a big challenge for whoever wins government as well as the Ministers, saying it’ll involve a massive cultural change for the fisheries division.

Mr Ciaravolo says Labor has also committed to building a new jetty at East Point, while the CLP wants to improve the East Arm boat ramp and create more infrastructure for land-based fishing.
