Jones responding to our polling with some misleading info:
🐟 1000 ton would be less than half of the reported catch in one fisheries area from 2024, the one considered to be collapsing. If that is all that remains then things are truly dire!
🐟 What are these "other nations that are there" that he speaks of? Only New Zealand bottom trawls in the south pacific high seas. Therefore we have the WORST track record using the MOST DESTRUCTIVE method available.
Sick of the implied and reflexive "racism as a defense" NZFirst is so fond of.
