This is clearly an initiative orchestrated at quite high levels in the new government who has clearly had it in for tenure review for a long time. Unfortunately I feel that F&B inadvertently gave them political cover by their (in my view) short sighted attack on the tenure review process a few years ago. I am glad to see a strong support for the tenure review system from F&B in Kevin Hackwell's comments in the latest news section. Well just to follow on from my comment in Feb, I feel vindicated.

Her particular species favourite was NZ snapper -imagine her disgust when she learned that she had been served frozen Chinese snapper...this in a country boasting of a $4 Billion fishing industry! More concerning, the owner of the shop said it is common practice for most fish and chip shops to be selling imported (Chinese,Thai,wherever) frozen fish if the local fresh fish were unavailable...What price the best fish guide ? Buyer beware...trouble is-how do we find out what we are eating ? Is it important?
