Finance Minister Nicola Willis says New Zealand currently holds around seven weeks’ worth of fuel, including reserves, but cautions the buffer depends on continued international deliveries amid disruption linked to conflict affecting routes like the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaking at Marsden Point, she acknowledged rising fuel costs were already impacting households and stressed the government’s priority was maintaining consistent supply.
Willis said contingency planning with fuel companies is underway, including potential prioritisation measures to ensure essential workers and families retain access if shortages emerge.
She ruled out blanket fuel price cuts, arguing “targeted support” would be more effective, particularly as many New Zealanders already rely on public transport or carpooling.
While noting New Zealand’s reserve requirements exceed Australia’s, she emphasised the government remains “vigilant and alert,” balancing any response against inflation pressures and limited fiscal flexibility as global oil prices surge.
After hearing that Labout was given options to keep Marsden point open I am absolutely appalled by this. No storage, no refining, no exploration. Economic sabotage. This situation should see the permanent END to the New Zealand Labour Party – IF WE HAD A DECENT MEDIA. 😡
And educated voters….
Voters have been deliberately “dumbed down” by the state controlled education system.
Such “education” is, of course, designed to mould the citizen into a mindless, complaint, infinitely pliable “human resource”.
So all the rural living families already use public transport or car pooling? I don’t think so. This is going to go horribly wrong.
So if the “buffer” “reserves” depend on “continued international deliveries” the logical conclusion is Willis is including undelivered reserves for the “buffer” – e.g. there is not seven weeks of reserves in the country.
If their lips are moving, they are lying. An honest politician is as unthinkable as an honest burgler.
Jack Tame’s guest on this past Sunday morning (a retired NZDF General who was resplendant with his Masonic Tie…) kept mentioning the ‘Rules-Based Order’ and ‘The Playbook’…which has been disrupted.
The ‘Rules-based Order’ is the ‘Playbook’ of the Zionist-based New World Order under Noahine Law which displaces Constitutional law, and Talmudic dictates that most all of Law Enforcement are now following, as the elements of U.S. Law Enforcement are Israeli-trained.
We can see how THAT has turned-out for the Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, and now the Iranians…
This guest also served as a civilian during Trump’s first term in thje U.S. National Security apparatus.
How did that happen??, Well…So Mote It Be…now show me that ‘Hidden Hand’..Brother! Here’s your secret, golden handshake!
But, that’s perfectly fitting, as the U.S. was founded by Freemasons, with all but two non-Masons who signed the Declaration of Independence (which was essentially a declaration of war…).
The U.S. has never been, is not now, and never will be a ‘Christian Nation’; it’s a Masonic Nation with Luciferian tenets that still pays alms to the Bank of England. And, the Zionists all control the Lodges, as this is a perfect tool for subterfuge using the secrecy around Lodge meetings.

Former Australian SAS Commander Lt. Col. Ricardo Bosi pointed out the problems of Freemasonry in the ranks and in government.
His phrase of ‘Remember who they are, and what they have done!” is perfectly suited for the likes of those who have displaced good people and installed their unqualified, incompetent and compromised persons for the sake of a ‘secret society’.

I tried contacting the Energy Minister and Shane Jones to ask WHY Marsden Point hasn’t been granted energency funding to re-open the refinery with modernisations…no f@#king responses..!
I also asked why drilling and extraction restrictions have been revoked to allow for oil and gas to flow once again, and again; o f@#king response!
New Zealand Oil & Gas has mentioned in their newsletters to their shareholders that there is a 350-400 year supply of DOMESTIC NZ OIL and a 400 year supply of DOMESTIC NEW ZEALAND NATURAL GAS!!!!
We take note of the incompetence of Willis, the ‘Energy Ministers’, and Luxon treating this whole crisis in a blaise manner, essentially surerendering New Zealand to offshore oil & gas producers who are at war with each other.
They will play this out with ‘don’t worry…be happy’ coupled with LOTS of self-delusional hopium!
You folks watch what happens when the s@#t really hits the fan here- no fuel, no gas, no supply lines, empty stores, crime at disasterous levels, the population unarmed except for criminals, while the Uni-Party MP’s run off to Switzerland, Patagonia, etc. escaping the disaster THEY incurred on us all while denying being responsible.
Jack Tame’s guest embodied all of that! The guest identified problems, had insight on what was being attempted behind the scenes, but never came out to discuss media corruption, re-opening Marsden Point, or the genocide, holodomor and war crimes by Israeli IDF members, or even armed neutrality and free trade for New Zealand. The general never discussed solutions to the very serious looming problems, lest he upsets his global masters, just as we say with John Key, Jabby and now Lex Luxon.
And with the Green Party proposing wealth, inheritance and asset taxes, that group of people needs to be de-listed due to the confirmed harm thay will inflict on the country!
Almost out of fuel but an endless abundance of political hot air….
It’s a pity, we couldn’t run out of politian’s.
If this continues long enough their currency might end up in negative figures…..
💯 funny love it
Controlled demolition..

Remember that one, she made a captains call and shut down oil and gas exploration in New Zealand in 2017.. And not too long ago another so called captain ran a naval ship into the reef. Say no more!!!
