New Government reforms aim to tidy up inconsistencies in Fish and Game New Zealand. 

It will be shifted to a nationalised fee collection system to reduce double handling of fees. 

Fish and Game councils will also be required to consider the interests of other stakeholders, like farmers and the aviation sector, when it comes to decision making. 

Hunting and Fishing Minister James Meager told Ryan Bridge he wants to ensure councils function efficiently.

He says there should be a consistent approach across the country.
