Fish Safe

Christopher’s parents, Nicolle and Trevor Drake, have filed a new Patent, the first of 3 that they have developed for the SMILE LIKE DRAKE Foundation.  “Fish Safe” is for rock-fisherman as rock fishing is the most dangerous sport in Australia. Mike Baird has already requested a meeting with the Drake’s on 3rd October, 2013 (on Christopher’s birthday) to discuss taking Fish Safe to Government for review & funding. They have also been asked to have a meeting Randwick Council regarding “Fish Safe” as Malabar has the highest rate of fatalities and incidents of rock-fishing deaths in our state.
