On Thursday, the ACT Party leaked a cabinet document proposing changes to Aotearoa's fishing laws. Among the changes include $68 million to equip fishing boats with cameras, and new regulations banning skippers from dumping fish at sea.

 

Ayana Piper-Healion spoke to Minister for Oceans and Fisheries David Parker about the reasoning behind the changes. Noah Ferguson-Dudding then discussed potential limitations in the proposal with Greenpeace CEO Russel Norman.
