Fix this textFuture of the
Fix this textFishing Industry
Fix this textThe world is now in the “post-war”
Fix this textperiod, and the problems of readjust-
Fix this textment and reorganization which it was
Fix this textforetold this period would bring to
Fix this textsociety are with all nations and
Fix this textpeoples. The Australian fishing in-
Fix this textdustry must face the fact that, in
Fix this textcommon with other industries, it has
Fix this textmany difficult and deep-rooted prob-
Fix this textlems which call for solution if pro-
Fix this textgress is to be made.
Fix this textIn the near future the central con-
Fix this texttrol of the Commonwealth Govern-
Fix this textment which, of war-time necessity,
Fix this texthad to be exercised over the industry
Fix this textwill be subject to review, and de-
Fix this textcisions which were made by the Gov-
Fix this texternment in respect of the industry’s
Fix this textproblems will, as wartime controls
Fix this textare relaxed, again be the responsibility
Fix this textof authority vested in State Govern-
Fix this textments and of the fishing industry
Fix this textitself.
Fix this textIn the past five years fishermen
Fix this texthave known relative prosperity. War-
Fix this texttime controls guaranteed them good
Fix this textmarkets for their catches, and, within
Fix this textthe limits c>f possibility, these controls
Fix this textprovided gear, manpower, transport
Fix this textand services in a measure to meet the
Fix this textessential needs of the industry.
Fix this textWhat of the future?
Fix this textThe apparent alternatives are to
Fix this textrevert to pre-war practices and condi-
Fix this texttions or to forge ahead with organiza-
Fix this texttion.
Fix this textAs the Minister for Post-War
Fix this textReconstruction (Mr. Dedman), in an
Fix this textarticle in the “Newsletter” last year,
Fix this textsaid, “Fishermen must organize and
Fix this textplan now for the future.” If fisher-
Fix this textmen desire a change for the better
Fix this textthey must study and know their in-
Fix this textdustry in all its phases—marketing,
Fix this texttransport, secondary requirements, fish-
Fix this texting technology and administration, and
Fix this textthus be in a good position to co-
Fix this textoperate with one another and the
Fix this textCommonwealth and State fisheries
Fix this textauthorities for the general better-
Fix this textment of the industry as a whole.

Fix this textMarketing System to be Changed
Fix this textFULL support by the New South Wales Government for the Common-
Fix this textwealth Government’s plan for the reorganisation of the fishing
Fix this textindustry on a co-operative basis was announced by the Acting Premier
Fix this textof New South Wales, Mr. Baddeley, early in July.
Fix this textState Cabinet’s decision was announced following a full examination
Fix this textof production and marketing of fish in New South Wales by a committee
Fix this textconstituted for the purpose of advising the State Government on all
Fix this textaspects of the problem of extending to the fishing industry the benefits
Fix this textof State legislation relating to co-operatives.
Fix this textMembers of the committee in-
Fix this textcluded representatives of the New

Fix this textFisheries officials.
Fix this textIn the report made to the State
Fix this textCabinet, the committee declared that
Fix this textit had been emphasised to the Com-
Fix this textmittee that there never had been any
Fix this textserious attempt made either by the
Fix this textfishermen themselves or by any
Fix this textauthority to establish facilities such
Fix this textas might be regarded as elementary
Fix this textneeds at the chief fishing centres.
Fix this textAs a result, the industry was in a
Fix this textbackward state, and called for urgent
Fix this textand effective measures for its organi-
Fix this textsation.
Fix this textRecommendations by the committee
Fix this textwhich State Cabinet adopted were: —
Fix this text1. That the Government encourage
Fix this textthe fishermen to form co-operatives
Fix this textfor the purpose of establishing fish
Fix this textdepots and a central distributing or-
Fix this textganisation; and, as incidental to this
Fix this textscheme, for the purpose of—
