63937 (2024). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries: What was the nature of any advice the Minister or his office received about levy cuts’ potential effects on the fishing industry’s environmental impacts?

Hon Shane Jones: I was advised that the levies are consistent with the Fisheries Act 1996 and the Fisheries (Cost Recovery) Rules 2001 and would continue to provide for the sustainable utilisation of New Zealand’s fisheries.
