Couldn't understand that last sentence Steps? I think/hope that the fisheries settlement with Maori put an end to any further claims to the fisheries. Charter fishing is an interesting discussion though as the charter operators do not catch fish. They just drive a boat to enable recreational fishermen to catch their daily allowance.
The ferry operator just carries the people to the destination..the peopkle still walk around , look...
charter carries the ppl to the fish , the ppl catch
The sentence was more intended as figurative thu... little tougue in cheek.. in saying that a lot of claims we aoprinanly thuoght to be bit of tougue in cheek
If we expolate the continuous flow of claims , and those that get ratified, eventually there will be no more claims as they will have everything...
