How Shane Jones’ fishing bill sank


Listen Later

Shane Jones’ controversial fisheries reform has been abandoned – for now.

The Oceans and Fisheries Minister told a select committee today that his “much-loved bill” would not be progressed in this term of government.

The Fisheries Amendment Bill had caused division within the coalition... changes to minimum legal-size limits for commercial fishing operators had to be walked back.

Other changes included plans to block the public from obtaining footage of fish dumping under the OIA.

Meanwhile, Jones has revealed that two orca were found dead as bycatch – the first recorded deaths of orcas in set nets in New Zealand.
