After talks with Coalition partners, the minister introduced an amendment to the bill to allow ring-netting in two of the 19 high protection areas.

So, we’re preventing Kiwis from fishing here to protect declining fish stocks, yet commercial fishing is still allowed to operate in the same area?

    These guys just hit the jackpot. Not only can they continue to fish there, no one else can. So they will end up with larger catches.

    I tried to think of a good analogy but couldn’t think of any.
