Poseidon Fishing Responds to Maritime Union of New Zealand

Press Release by Poseidon Fishing Ltd, Monday 19th September

Poseidon Fishing is concerned that the press release entitled "Brutality And Abuse On Board Slave Ships Revealed By Escaped Crew" is ill founded, incorrect and will continue to damage the credibility of legitimate foreign charter operators. The title and the statements contained in the press release are emotive and designed more to raise the profile of ITF, than to address the underlying issues. Poseidon will not be used as a soap box for the ITF.

The statements made by Ms Whelan and the ITF are defamatory and redress may be sought against ITF.

Gordon Campbell: On The Government’s Epic Fails In Jobs And Housing

Through its austerity measures, the coalition government has engineered a rise in unemployment in order to reduce inflation while – simultaneously – cracking down harder and harder on the people thrown out of work by its own policies. To that end, Social Development Minister Louise Upston this week added two new punitive measures to her already draconian “traffic light” system of welfare management. Meanwhile back on Planet Earth, the reality is that the government’s economic policies are (a) generating more, not fewer beneficiaries at a time when (b) jobs ads and job openings are falling.
