Read between the lines on that one. A scholar and a gentleman? Ermm #2. Calling others, "niggers". Surely not scholarly or gentlemanly behaviour, either? :2cents:	WalOne (4202)

While iwi own almost 40 percent of New Zealand’s entire quota, instead of providing employment opportunities on fishing boats and in processing plants for thousands of unemployed Maori, most of the 57 iwi who jointly own the quota use foreign crewed fishing vessels and fish processing factories in China. The ageing fishing boats are manned by crew who are forced to work under sweat-shop conditions earning as little as $65 a week. According to industry sources, the catch is then shipped to China where it is processed using Chinese labour, labelled as produced in New Zealand and sold in our supermarkets - as if it had never left our shores. The dreadful conditions on these fishing boats came into focus last year when the 38-year-old FCV Oyang 70 sank in August with the loss of 6 lives. That was followed by the sinking of the 31-year-old No 1 Insung in December, with the death of 22 crew. In an exposé in the Sunday Star Times last month, Michael Field outlined how Ngapuhi has a 50/50 joint venture company Northland Deepwater JV Ltd (with an Auckland firm DSM Ltd), which has lobbied to be able to keep using aging foreign vessels. Hawkes Bay’s Ngati Kahungunu now deals through Northland Deepwater, while Tainui and Ngati Porou also use foreign vessels. Under their treaty settlements Maori formed the pan-tribal Aotearoa Fisheries Limited, which has a 50 percent shareholding in Sealord Fisheries, which also uses foreign vessels. The rest of the shares are held by Nissui, a major shareholder in Japan's Antarctic whaling fleet.[6] When asked about the foreign vessel scandal, the Minister of Maori Affairs, Pita Sharples said that he was concerned that 60,000 young New Zealanders were out of work, but that he understood the reason iwi weren’t catching their own quota was that “many Maori find it hard to be out for long periods of time away from their whanau”!
