Marine protected areas, and particularly no-take zones, are very effective in allowing regeneration of fish stocks.

Fortunately New Zealand doesn't have land borders so we are able to be somewhat more rigorous on who gets in and out of our country than perhaps some people.

I've been round Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, and China in the last few months and the message that I've been taking is that New Zealand is building an up market dynamic into a connected economy. And that we are not the old-fashioned, ship mutton kind of product the people associate their export in work.

Someone's got to break the glass ceiling, and once it's broken, everybody else comes clamouring up behind.
