I totally agree Dazz. And using the forums to let each other know of the media's uneducated gaffs, so we can write in and publically re-educate them through comments is probably our best line of defence.
I think that, statistically speaking, fishing and then bushwalking are our most dangerous leisure activities. Surfing seems to have it's share of injuries, disappearances and shark attacks too.........

By the numbers fishing is the most deadly "sport" in Australia.

Maybe a bumper sticker that says:
"Quad riding is safer than fishing"

Sounds a bit like 1986 when they banned trikes, it's not the machine that is dangerous it is the operator.
