Prawn lovers are facing higher-than-normal prices this Christmas as the drought continues to have an impact on supply.Fishermen cooperatives across the NSW mid-north and north coasts say prawn populations are suffering due to low rainfall
Co-ops remain confident Christmas demand will be met, despite the slow start to the season and higher prices"It's a well-established fact that when you have drought on land, you have drought in water," Ms Beatty said.
OK I'm going long on prawn futures if this doesn't work out I want my 15 cents back.
Since when does the drought affect the oceans? Blatant attempt to rip people off more like it.
Not enough rainfall to grow prawns? Just sell off the ABC already, this is an insult to Australians intelligence.
Damn that drought, drying up all the oceans and ruining the prawn’s habitat. They really will use bullshit to try and justify price rises.
As per every Christmas ever.
Did you copy n paste this scoop of a tweet from last year ABC?
How would drought make prawns scarce?
Didn't realise that the drought affects the oceans.
So that's why the lefties haven't been biting. I couldn't afford PRAWNS for bait. Truth in reporting is all the bait this cruel inhuman dishonest political movement needs. I know let's build another football stadium or tram or cycle way I don't know who's worse left or right.
The ocean is in drought....hmmm I’ve not heard that excuse for price gouging before.. 10 stars for creativity.
Really? What a surprise. I wouldn’t have thought that likely.🙄
Same story, same time erry year....next you’ll be reporting that petrol prices will be going up....
prawns live in the ocean, m’kay?
Large or medium sized King Prawns are always expensive at Christmas.
