The 113-day Lockout - Series


THE 113-DAY LOCKOUT - GIVE AN INCH, TAKE A MILE
On a perfect Saturday at Patonga Wharf, my trawler Lyndy sits ready, the prawns are running, the market wants local seafood – and I am banned from working. NSW weekend and public holiday closures lock us out for 113 days a year, not to save fish, but to sideline the very people who feed the public.
