Episode #17 - Michael Pennington: Scathing Takedown of SA Algal Bloom Crisis and Laughable Support

I sit down with Michael Pennington, second-generation commercial fisherman from Ardrossan, Yorke Peninsula, breaking his silence on the Malinauskas government's mishandling of the 2025 algal bloom. He slams the inadequate financial support for fishermen unable to work for over 50 days amid devastating marine losses.

Highlights:
Fishermen's plight: Over 50 days without work, no squid catches
Government failures: Delayed response, 'cop out' licence fee relief
Economic devastation: Tourism, aquaculture, fishing industries crippled
Personal impact: Second-generation fisher's frontline stories
Demand for action: Better aid, royal commission, national disaster status
Path forward: Urgent reforms to save SA's marine economy
