Maybe that was when this 'hidden' report was done and they realised they were already taking that much more than their quota already |

What is so secret about our commercial fisheries that makes it impossible for the public to read the reports they pay to get written without someone having to 'leak' them? There is a fundamental disconnect here between what MPI/government think they can do and what the public rightfully expect them to do. Why do they do it? Because it suits their own agendas better and because they are so unaccountable that they know they can get way with it. Probably spend more time and money trying to find the 'dangerous leaker' than they did trying to fix the problem. |
