Shane Jones and Paul Goldsmith are robbing Māori to bribe the the Fishing Industry

Let’s be clear why Paul Goldsmith is about to plunge the country into another spasm of race baiting by re-setting Māori Customary Fishing rights.

It’s for Shane Jones donors in the fishing industry…

Two Ministers caught red handed conspiring with corporate interests to gut indigenous rights

This week two Ministers, Paul Goldsmith and Shane Jones were caught out colluding with corporate seafood interests to strip Māori customary rights down to a mere 5% of the coastline in a move that makes Helen Clarks seabed and foreshore confiscation look measured and reasonable!

…that’s right, Jones and Goldsmith were busted last year telling Industry they intended to do this to ensure Industry Interests gutted indigenous interests!

Treaty Negotiations Minister defends 5% of coastline comment

Treaty Negotiations Minister Paul Goldsmith says his claim customary marine title will be reduced to 5 percent of the coastline was just part of “free-flowing discussion” and not based on any analysis.

Goldsmith made the comments at a private meeting with seafood industry representatives in May, which was also attended by Oceans and Fisheries Minister Shane Jones.

Notes from the meeting – which was officially about the industry’s concerns about lack of a voice in debate about the customary titles – show Goldsmith spoke about the effect he expected the government’s approach would have on the amount of coastline affected.

He said it “should reduce the 100 percent of coastline subject to Customary Marine Title to 5 percent”.

They were caught on record boasting to the Fishing Industry that they would gut Māori customary fishing rights (an industry that donates to NZF and National BTW) and lo and behold, they are gutting Māori customary rights.

How are you so easily manipulated by the right when all they need to do is trigger your anti-Māori bigotry as a means to empower corporations?

Look at what Jones has just gifted the fishing industry FFS…

Cameras on boats: Government confirms pro-industry fisheries changes

…how bitter are you towards Jacinda, the Trans Community, Māori and vaccines for all of this venal corruption to be acceptable to you?
