Are you wanting to buy a whitebait stand?
Hi neighbours,
Are you wanting to get into the whitebait industry? It could cost you. More than half a dozen stands, costing up to $200,000, have come on to the market in the past few weeks. Although sold as "stands", what changes hands is a permit to fish a particular spot on a river. To read more, click here.
Are you a fan of whitebait? Is it a popular meal in your neighbourhood? How much would you be willing to pay for a whitebait permit? Let us know your thoughts in the replies below!

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
