Here in Queensland, the "Guppy Gestapo" are the same guys that have to
police the taking of illegal species and sizes by commercial fishermen and
have been subjected to being tied to mangrove trees at gunpoint. There are
also a couple of unexplained "disappearances" of officers in remote parts
of the state while investigating illegal Barramundi netters.
