The Mari­time Uni­on has slammed com­ments by Fish­er­ies Min­is­ter Phil Heat­ley about employ­ment in New Zeal­and’s fish­ing industry, and say they make a bad joke out of the Gov­ern­ment’s com­mit­ment to pro­tect jobs.
Mari­time Uni­on Gen­er­al Sec­ret­ary Tre­vor Han­son says Mr Heat­ley has pub­licly admit­ted that New Zea­l­and jobs are not a pri­or­ity in the New Zea­l­and fish­ing industry.
