Adele Farina has an extensive background in public affairs, including 20 years as a Member of the Legislative Council for the South-West region. Ms Farina will remain as CEO (Acting) of the Forest Industry Federation of WA (FIFWA) which has strongly represented regional businesses and communities impacted by the government’s closure of the native forest industry.
“I am committed to working with the WAFIC Board to ensure the fishing industry is best protected from a range of serious challenges, including marine park sanctuary areas, exclusion zones for offshore wind farms, desalination plants and a range of other impacts that are adversely impacting the viability of commercial fishing and the ability of consumers to buy fish sourced locally,” said Ms Farina.
