“The minister seems to have consulted Labour MPs before consulting with the industry. “Thankfully some helpful democratic Labour backbencher has let us all in on it, by leaking it out of caucus, with it finding its way to the ACT Party,” Seymour said. The papers look at topics such as creating “more selective fishing underpinned by transparent and accountable commercial fishing practice”, noting that the new portfolio title is “oceans and fisheries”, rather than just “fisheries”. Parker also intended to begin an inquiry into the use of migrant labour across the fishing industry.
