The party will field a candidate for the seat of Port Stephens and it is hoped that with the assistance of Mr Druery the seat can be won on the back of concerns over the Manning-Great Lakes Marine Park.

Robert Smith, the party chairman, stated that Glenn comes with expert credentials in handling elections and doing deals.

"Glenn just missed his own political spot in the last Federal Election, which was well acknowledged in the political election roundup," explained Mr Smith.

"His fame is that he (with our party preferences help) stopped the Greens from getting another Senate seat.

"The Fishing Party will be endeavoring to repeat that outcome next election," he said.

The party expects to lead a full 15-candidate group ticket in the NSW Senate, along with targeting and contesting House of Representative coastal seats currently held by Labor.

Mr Smith said that six seats - Tweed, Port Stephens, Wallsend, Sydney (Port Jackson) are definite; Kiama and Swansea are in the pipeline.

The Central Coast Labor seats will be targeted next for candidates.

Mr Smith believes the everyday Australian, and especially the one million fishing voters, plus the countless recreational community have been deserted by government agendas.

"Their recreation is being eroded by political deals rather than science," he said.

Mr Smith believes that if the party can attract the disenfranchised heartland vote or secure the number one spot on the voting tickets they could break the Labor/Green marriage that they need to govern.

"National Park management is out of control, it is empirical and under funded," he said.

"This and environmental concerns will be also part of our campaign. The rural community is suffering the consequences."
