7417 (2025). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries

7417 (2025). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries: What correspondence, if any, did he receive from fisheries industry groups relating to the proposed South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO) rules to reduce bottom trawling in biodiversity hotspots, prior to the decision to abandon and work against this proposal?

Hon Shane Jones: I receive and reply to a large volume of physical and electronic correspondence on a daily basis. To identify, classify and list all physical and electronic correspondence would impede the operation of my office which is not in the public interest.
