Statutory Rahui?

It is stated that "With the passing of the 1996 Fisheries Act, a rāhui can also be imposed by the New Zealand Ministry of Fisheries". Actually section 186 (1) permits: "The Governor-General may from time to time, by Order in Council, make regulations recognising and providing for customary food gathering by Maori and the special relationship between tangata whenua and places of importance for customary food gathering". The power is given to the Governor-General (in council), i.e. the cabinet - not the Minister of Fisheries. And the power relates to regulating customary Maori fishery, not specifically imposing rahui - which are not referred to in the Act. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk) 00:11, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
