Shane Jones is a Prized Prick.
Sure there is a serious problem here and people need educating and probably better regulation to protect our shoreline marine life.
His rhetoric is racist and discrimatory. NZ First is a Trump clone.

Oceans and Fisheries Minister Shane Jones said he had asked Fisheries New Zealand officials for urgent advice about the situation at the bay. He said the matter was a result of a cultural clash.
"Kiwis, we're fairly laidback and we make assumption that, when immigrants come to New Zealand, they won't crap on the beach, they won't slaughter all the periwinkles. Well, this is evidence that, as our democracy changes, we're going to have to be more vigilant.
"The New Zealand public has got to wake up to the fact that unfettered immigration is going to import these problems, because a lot of the migrant communities have a different cultural mindset and, until they abide by the Kiwi ways, we are going to have to both educate and regulate."
