NZ First Supports Fishing Industry
Tuesday, 5 October 1999, 2:35 pm
Press Release: New Zealand First Party
New Zealand First has questioned the reasons behind the
Green Party policy of locking up 20% of New Zealand’s
fisheries.
"If implemented, the Green policy would be
extremely damaging to our fishing industry and national
economy," said New Zealand First Northland candidate Ian
Walker.
"Too much so-called environmental protectionism in
New Zealand is based on a religious belief rather than sound
scientific analysis.
"It is important for New Zealand that
we develop well researched sustainable management practices
that allow our export industries to thrive, while
maintaining the long-term viability of the environment",
said Mr Walker.
New Zealand First believes there is a need
to improve our knowledge of the marine environment. In a
shared management regime New Zealand First will increase
research resources into all forms of fishing – recreational,
customary, and commercial.
"We believe shared management
is the key, with government holding the ultimate decision
making power," said Mr
Walker.

By some estimates it adds on average, one new track every 1.4 seconds. (No wonder it's so hard to keep up with new music.) Spotify has 345 million active users, and 155 million of them have been willing to pay a subscription in order to enjoy their music ad-free. Ads are not a major driver of company revenue...
