Quote of the week:
Peter Talley at the Maori Fisheries Conference :
“I, for one, certainly did not fight my way to the top of the food chain to eat vegetables.”

The article appeared in the Marlborough Express along with the following from him:
We need a new balanced approach to environmentalism, one that recognises sustainable extraction, and one that recognises a higher ranking of mankind, that should rightfully be placed well above the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees.
He also said:
Many “greenies” enjoyed floating around the world’s oceans in old tubs, funded by a guilty public, he said. But New Zealand was not rich enough to lock up valuable resources out of “fabricated concerns for snails and seals”.

Chris Bird – your attitude, and that of Peter T alley, is a disgrace to all New Zealanders. The death of the environment, through the ‘thousand cuts’ you laud, is the mechanism by which New Zealand is racing to the bottom
Hang your head in shame.
