Bloody hell, orcas are protected species. How hard is it to check your nets?

Taylor Wright2026-06-18T04:31:08.000Z

they should be fined into oblivion.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-18T04:11:08.000Z

yeah nah mate, these things happen. fisheries monitoring works fine.

Blake Turner2026-06-18T04:25:08.000Z

Oh shove your spin Shane. Two orcas dead is not 'works'.

Taylor Wright2026-06-18T04:54:08.000Z

ffs this is heartbreaking. Just saw the video, it's awful.

Sam North2026-06-18T05:26:08.000Z

I work on a boat, it's not that simple. But we need better tech to avoid bycatch tbh.

stop defending them, they could have used pingers

Peyton Hall2026-06-18T05:27:08.000Z

At least they reported it? Progress? small wins

Ella Thompson2026-06-18T05:53:08.000Z

Minister's just protecting his mates in the industry. Typical.

Ella Thompson2026-06-18T06:45:08.000Z

yeah nah, that's like saying 'at least they admitted it' after a robbery

Grace Patel2026-06-18T06:17:08.000Z

wat a load of shit. 'enforcement works' my arse.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-18T06:32:08.000Z

If reporting means it works, then I guess lock 'em up works too by that logic.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-18T06:43:08.000Z

does anyone else remember when NZ was a world leader in this? RIP reputation.
