I have had no problem with the customary permits until I saw for myself the outrageous greed of the permit holders and the issuing party and the inevitable wastage after the cultural event. If there was a national standard on permit take and permit issuing then it could be on the right track. I don't see myself bothering to apply for a customary permit, I can catch enough to feed my family under existing rules. Mataitai reserves as I understand, are for customary and recreational fishers under the current law, no commercial. Cheers

But before European arrived Maori would fish an area whether that be for shellfish/flounder then close for a period of time(rahui)and move somewhere else and repeat the process over again. If we look overseas ,particularly America where the Europeans killed of the buffalo to drive the red Indian out of futile land. Africa the poaching that goes on maybe down by natives supplying a European driven market or lions(big cats)as trophy hunts by the wealthy. Asia destroying plantations for palm oil which is killing of the Asian elephant/gorilla .We have a lot to answer for! |

From the outside looking in,this thread appears to be a white mans domain being very racist against Maori who through no fault of their own were given this "Customary right"by the white man. There said it. That is what a person of the public probably would see if they stumbled across this thread.
Probably go as far as to lock the thread or have it totally deleted !
