Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Understanding the new rock lobster quotas
Q: Why are recreational divers restricted to less than 1% increase in their total allowable catch compared to commercial and small scale fishing operations?
This is a misunderstanding; the increase in quotas is proportional, and while the total catch has increased, recreational limits remain practically unchanged at a maximum of four lobsters per day.
Understanding the new rock lobster quotas
Q: What is the scientific basis or evidence that justifies such a large increase in West Coast Rock Lobster quotas?
The Chief Directorate, Fisheries Research and Development conducted stock assessments that indicated an increase in the somatic growth of the West Coast Rock Lobster, alongside a decrease in illegal fishing activities.
The law of the boerewors: What it takes to earn the name
Q: Why does it matter to consumers if a product is genuinely bourre-vos?
Consumers deserve accurate labeling to avoid being misled about the quality and content of meat products they purchase.
The law of the boerewors: What it takes to earn the name
Q: What is the difference between sausage, vos, brivos, and bourre-vos?
Vos is a general term for sausage, while bourre-vos has specific regulations regarding its meat content and type.
Why does the law protect the identity of convicted child offenders even when they become adults?
Q: Should someone who commits a brutal murder at 17 still have their identity protected at 25 or 30?
This question is posed to the audience, initiating a debate on the appropriateness of continued identity protection for serious offenders as they age.
