Ellie Hooper: Greenpeace Aotearoa Oceans Lead on the government's u-turn on the fisheries act

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

Greenpeace says the Government’s partial backdown on controversial fishing rule changes don't go far enough.  Fisheries Minister Shane Jones has U-turned on a plan to allow commercial fishing companies to sell some undersized fish to reduce wastage.  It follows concerns the move would deplete fishing stocks.  Greenpeace Oceans Lead Ellie Hooper told Ryan Bridge the rest of the Government's proposed changes still reads like a wish-list for the trawling industry and would limit public input on key decisions.  She says there's also the issue of cameras on boats, and under this bill, footage would be locked up and unable to be accessed.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
