Aussie Licence

I have a few mates who live in Australia .. and they tell me that as soon as ya reach age 60 the fishing rod licence is FREE .. and thats for sea and fresh water
so why cant the enviroment agency look after there ageing fisher men and ladies the same way the Aussies do .. ya have to reach 65 in this country and ya still have to pay 18 pounds ... what a rip off ... Money grabbing wotsits Grrr
Micky ps ... in many States in Aus a licence is not needed ever

Enquiries can be directed to the NLC on 1800 645 299 or by visiting the NLC website on www.nlc.org.au. and http://www.nt.gov.au/dpifm/Fi sheries/

Queensland Fishing License:Anglers do not require a license to fish recreationally in Queensland, except if fishing in some stocked impoundments. The links below provide detailed information on anglers' responsibilities when fishing in fresh waters and tidal waters.

SA Fishing License:No Fishing License is currently required in South Australia (01/2008) check http://www.pir.sa.gov.au/f isheries/recreational_fishing for the most up to date information. To ensure the long-term health and availability of fish stocks, it is critical that enough fish of each species remain in the water to reproduce and replace the numbers removed each year by fishing.
