Upper House approves fisheries inquiry amid tensions over threats to Minister

The Upper House of Parliament approved an inquiry into Western Australia's fisheries on Wednesday amid tensions between Fisheries Minister Jackie Jarvis and the Nationals WA. Jarvis accused the Nationals of supporting fishers who threatened her family, which they denied. The inquiry is expected to take over a year, risking delays before a ban on demersal fishing ends in 2027.
