John MacKenzie chats with David Bobberman, CEO of Queensland Seafood Industry Association, about the fear facing Queensland's seafood industry after the announcement that the state government will ban certain net fishing.

David Bobberman was furious that the announcements were made without any consultation with industry stakeholders.
