Inquiry into fishing industry needed

The Mar­itime Union says infor­ma­tion revealed in a New Zealand doc­u­men­tary on the fish­ing indus­try must be fol­lowed up by a Gov­ern­ment inquiry.

The doc­u­men­tary The Great New Zealand Fish­ing Scan­dal by inves­tiga­tive jour­nal­ist Guy Hen­der­son screened on Sky last night and today, and cov­ered devel­op­ments in the indus­try since the 1990s.

Mar­itime Union Gen­er­al Sec­re­tary Trevor Han­son says the doc­u­men­tary was accu­rate and he believes there is much more to be uncov­ered.
