100% pure poppycock

what a horrid lot we're turning out to be

and so cheap... well the fish we get from there isn't -too expensive for our own market....

Dont worry soon oil will probably be pissed everywhere and we can end the fishing that way

But but but $18 million bob! Don't you see! We're RICH! RICH I TELLS YOU!!!!!!

oh they never said in the article we're earning mcduck dollars

I take all back and am ashamed of myself

fuck the fish we're rich... I mean someone other than I is rich

Seriously, it's fucking disgusting. We should all be ashamed.

The short sightedness astounds me.

The fishing consents in NZ waters has been well dodgy for a number of years now, and its set to get much worse.
My wife was telling me last week about some movement from the Chinese to establish a firmer grip on our aquatic resources. The world has been overfished for faaaaar too long, and in many places its beyond any recovery.

Without sounding like a crazy fish lover, we really need to band together on this one, itls no longer a case of getting stuck in to people poaching the fuck out of your local (even this is getting dangerous too, they seem to be getting stauncher and coming down in bigger groups to avoid intimidation)
We could with the right direction reduce overfishing, educated people, and stand to make monies too. (as that seems to be the important bit)

Makes me fucking sick.

We used to be world leaders in conservation. Now this. Fucking depressing.

Yay let's rape and pillidge our resources! It worked for Haiti right?

Right?

somalia is a classic case of what fisher people do when there are no fish

beware the fisher people

+1 :/

We were certainly never world leaders in native forest or wetland preservation

The rape and pillage retoric is a bit ott.

Our sawtooth fishing is pretty high up as far as standards go - there is a fisheries officer on each vessel and all waste is contained. Anything that isnt sawtooth is noted too.

That said it does seem a bit strange - I suspect its about more than just 18mil worth of fishing.

its always about more..... there be other resources we and our fav ally would like in that region

small cocks the lot of them

Was hilarious hearing John Key getting challenged by some reporter on BBC radio a while back about NZ's track record on environmental issues... all Key could do is just say that he disagreed with all these facts the interviewer was providing :/

chain 'em drain 'em

was fucking embarrassing don't ya mean Gummi?

Bad enough to look like a clown (add letterman appearance here) in front of your own... but the world via BBC's hardtalk - wtf were his handlers thinking... smiling don't cut it in the real world

who will downgrade us to 43.1% Pure and declining...

well it was on bbc news earlier, the oil spill that is, and this disaster is being compared to that which occurred in Devon, England, not so many tears ago, with similar local disdain for 'authorities'
