Labor MP Mick Murray busted with illegal abalone

A Labor MP could face fines of up to $10,000 after he was allegedly caught with an oversize haul of abalone outside the West Australian season.

State opposition leader Paul Omodei says Mr Murray should be sacked.

But Premier Alan Carpenter says while Mr Murray should face the full force of the law, he will not sack the errant MP.

This goose used to work within the fisheries department Angry

The level of incompetence from the incumbent Labor govt is shocking to say the least. Multiple ministers sacked, corruption scandals, unionists partners parachuted into safe labor seats and associating with convicted felons etc. The entire lot should be sacked.

Another vote for federalism from me.

Political Animal has little moderation. It is the forum for free speech and free thinkers to converse passionately without the threat of being banned. It is a forum for adults.

A Labor West Australian MP has been convicted and fined $4,200 for illegally catching abalone outside the state's season.

Mr Murray was given a spent conviction, which means he won't have to disclose the offence to third parties.

He was fined a further $2,400 for catching four green lip and eight brown lip abalone.

WA Premier Alan Carpenter has previously said he would not sack the MP over his actions.

But Mr Carpenter said Mr Murray had been careless and should face the full weight of the law.
