Just can't believe this shit...not only do they want to look into whaling...they are also trying to justifie "the use of foreign charter vessels which use low-paid Asian labour to fish Maori quota".(you know...the shitty ones that keep sinking, or are tourturing crew members or not paying them at all...I believe "slave labour" sums it up)

...all in the name of profit!...my how the Iwi involved have "advanced"

heres hoping this dumb idea gets blocked...and those cheap shitty slave labour boats get kicked out of our waters.

Whales...Photograph them!...don't harpoon them!

There is a lot of noise happening in the fishing industry at the moment. Some of it is similar to the kind of noise that was made around ACC a while back so I think we might see some changes coming up.

Frankly I think this particular initiative is just appalling. Its a real 'fuck you' to everyone else that demonstrates that these particular people should not be entrusted with anything of value.

Gareth Morgan has had a bit to say about all this fishing stuff of late - I don't agree with some of what he is saying but its a good read all the same.

3 articles - read in order as below.

It's crazy how things are bad... unless, of course there's a shitload of money to be made. I reminds me of the whole "You can't build your roads here because of the taniwha in the river... unless you pay the iwi several million dollars."

Most definately. There will be a size rating system as well.
Have you seen the damage those buggers make when they crash?

We eat cattle and sheep. Other cultures eat horses, cats and dogs. Whales are just another mammal. As long as they're not hunted to extinction, what's the difference?

I agree,
Might as well bitch about Tuna fishing.
