Sealord says the current Fisheries Act regulations are no longer fit for purpose.  

Consultation's open on changes to the Act to allow catch limits to be more readily altered and let camera-fitted boats dump unwanted catch at sea. 

If agreed on, the public would no longer be able to access fishing boat surveillance camera footage through official information requests. 

Chief Executive Doug Paulin told Mike Hosking there's no longer so much need for such strict oversight.  

He says they now have digital reporting, vessel locators going to MPI daily, and cameras on many of the fishing boats.

"Such a joyful thing": Jimmy Carr talks comedy, upcoming NZ tour 

Jimmy Carr is well known for a couple of things, his controversial comedy and distinctive laugh chief among them.

And he’s bringing both to Kiwi audiences early next year, travelling right across the country, stopping in 13 different cities. 

He’s got a prolific career in standup, as well as being a household name in UK television, not only hosting an array of panel shows, but a regular guest on many of the rest. 

Carr has a busy schedule, and he told Mike Hosking that he works as much as he possibly can, as his work is such a joyful thing. 

“If I have a night off, what am I doing? I’m sitting at home having my tea,” he said. 

“If I come out and do a show, it’s such a joyful thing." 

“I also think I do have a propensity to get cancelled once in a while,” Carr confessed, the comedian having seen his fair share of controversies. 

“So you never know when your last one’s going to be.” 

When it comes to cancel culture, Carr is a big advocate for freedom of speech. 

“I’m not for everyone, and edgy jokes, there’s you know, limits of it, sometimes it’s not for everyone,” he told Hosking. 

“But the whole cancel culture thing, you go, well, as long as you don’t get cancelled by your own audience, I think you’re golden.”

Longevity: What's the secret to living longer, healthier lives? 

People are becoming increasingly more interested in living longer. 

Health, wellness, dieting, and fitness are more and more prominent on social media, and health monitoring technology are becoming increasingly popular. 

Cardiologist Dr Eric Topol has been researching longevity for decades, and is considered to be one of the top five voices on the subject. 

He’s just released his latest book, ‘Super Agers’, a detailed guide to living a longer, healthier life. 

Topol told Mike Hosking it’s not necessarily about living longer, but rather extending the years someone lives with intact health.  

He says living to 90 and being perfectly health throughout ought to be more important than trying to live to 110 and having many years of dementia, or profound frailty, or poor quality of life.  

Although there are revolutions happening in regards to anti-inflammatory and hormonal medications, Topol says it’s never going to be as simple as a pill. 

Things like lifestyle factors, environmental pollution, microplastics, and forever chemicals also need to be controlled, he explains. 

Listen to the full interview for a detailed explanation of health, longevity, and the new developments in the medical sector.
