In this in-depth reaction, Chippy breaks down how the WA Government’s decisions show a complete lack of respect for fishers, small businesses, and local communities. From tighter restrictions to poor consultation, these changes are driving fish prices through the roof and squeezing the entire supply chain. Chippy explains how wholesale prices are hurting his restaurant, pushing up menu prices, and forcing cheaper fish options to increase in cost due to higher demand.

This isn’t just about fishing — it’s about livelihoods, small businesses, and the growing disconnect between government decisions and real-world consequences.

Chunk and The Chippy reflect on the recent WA law changes and the commercial fishing bans they’ve already had to confront, just three weeks into the new year. The impact on the restaurant has been immediate, with fish prices rising sharply and customers now being forced to pay more. They question the government’s approach, pointing to the undeniable damage these policies are causing to small businesses across Western Australia. It leaves you wondering who these decisions are really helping — both in the short term and in the long-term future of the fishing industry.
