7633 (2025). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries: What correspondence, if any, did he receive from fisheries industry groups relating to New Zealand's proposal at the 2025 annual meeting of the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO) to be allowed to catch Australia's uncaught catch allowance of orange roughy using bottom-trawling fishing vessels, prior to its 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.
