Regulation Minister David Seymour is urging businesses, fuel users and the wider public to identify regulatory barriers that could hinder New Zealand’s response to potential global fuel disruptions.
Submissions are being sought through the Ministry for Regulation’s Red Tape Tipline, as the Government looks to ensure fuel continues to flow efficiently across the country.
Seymour said New Zealand’s fuel supply “remains stable”, but the Government is taking proactive steps to prepare for any impact from instability in the Middle East. He emphasised that while global events are beyond New Zealand’s control, domestic systems can be improved to maintain supply.
The call for feedback follows recent updates to the National Fuel Plan, which outlines how fuel would be managed in the event of international supply pressures. Seymour said the Government’s priority is to keep the economy moving and minimise disruption to essential services, freight networks and households.
He warned against repeating issues experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic, saying early identification of regulatory obstacles is critical. Businesses and industry participants are being encouraged to report any rules that may complicate fuel importation, storage, distribution or day-to-day operations.
Examples of potential barriers include constraints affecting transport logistics, fuel storage capacity, local delivery systems and the ability of firms to respond quickly to changing supply conditions. Submissions that fall outside regulatory scope will be referred to the appropriate agencies.
Seymour said the Tipline has previously led to changes in a range of areas, including easing rules for small businesses and property improvements, and he expects similar practical outcomes from this process.
The Government is particularly seeking input from those directly involved in fuel supply chains, including fuel companies, freight operators, contractors, primary producers and retailers.
Submissions can be made here.

Public input??
That $#%$@#%$ does not care as long as there are 5+% of sheeple handy to vote for traitors.
I couldn’t agree more. Seymour is a corrupt, useless criminal stealing our money and ruining our country!
Here are a few suggestions for you Mr Associate Finance Minister Seymour.
How about cutting the taxpayer ruining public service wage bill in half, noone will notice them gone so why are they all still there?
How about cutting spending so the NZ government doesnt suffer a very expensive fitch downgrade… oops too late!
How about reading the grocery, banking, and energy reports you charged taxpayers a wheel barrow full of money for?
And how abourt crushing the illegal Aussie cartels like the banking, grocery, and energy industry reports told you to do?
How about running a successful charter schools program which doesnt fail to achieve its targets?
How about recruiting quality mps / ministers so kiwis dont have to pay for the disastrous alcohol reforms, sure to fail gun register, the tax money laundering purposeless excess road cones, worsening OT failiures, and Brooke’s inability to ucover the blue whale sized covid fraud then prosecute the H Clark advised Ardern Government hierarchy and recover our laundered $74.4b.
In the words of Ronnie Cray…..
Wanker!
Kiwis need to help, support, then vote for a new centre right party committed to purging nz pplitical corription.
Nz Loyal.is the current front rumner but they need lots of help from intellectuals and funders.
So front up. Your country needs you.
I’m listening to Seymour talking to duncan garner about Iran.
Seymour hasn’t once mentioned the Aussie petrol cartel’s super sized NZ profit margins growing exponentially under the cover of Iran; despite NZ having ample fuel, and despite the higher priced oil not having reached NZ yet.
The covid: podium of truth ,
overblown crisis, and defrauding Kiwis are all back!
Seymour also said they’re working hard to avoid a credit downgrade because of the costs that brings. Read the fitch credit report / downgrade you wanker.
And now Seymour is blaming National for all the fraudulant nz government disasters. Hasn’t anyone told. Seymour he is associate finance minister?
Like Luxon, Willis, Peters, and Jones; Seymour and Van Velden are dishonest crooks defrauding Kiwis.
Kiwis need to vote for a new honest centre right party this election, or you will watch Kiwi children who survive our murderous government, continue to leave the country.
NZ Loyal is my front runner but they need a bolstered management team
to conduct a review of their policies.
But don’t touch their excellent policies to investigate, expose, and prosecute political corruption!
Here’s some ‘Public Input’ that they were instructed to implement 3 years ago:
REBUILD MARSDEN POINT ASAP WITH EMERGENCY FUNDING!!!!
They were told to do this in order to prevent what is now happening to New Zealand!
They were also told to effect Price Caps on food, commodities, goods and services!
They have done NOTHING!, and the rancor and dismissal of public input just shows the contempt these people have for the Kiwi population!
I agree. However, I would argue it is the shortage of oil is causing the problem. NZ must,
1. Push oil production to the max.
2. Build more oil wells.
NZ has the steel and resources to make these things. Our labour cost is way too high. All caused by printing money and high taxes.
NZ oil was first discovered in 1865 at Moturoa. It was natural oil leaking to the surface.
But it took until 1901 when Moturoa became the first commercially producing oil well for the British Empire. It was a simple hydroskiming system.
There were 3 other upgrades. The third was adding Hydrocracking machine which turns heavy crude into petrol and jet fuel.
The issue is political. Today the production is small and declining because of a shift to clean renewable energy. Labour has to bend over to the Greens if they get into power.
If you vote Green, you are voting to be poor. You are voting to struggle to survive.
True. Thiis is why voting for the NZ Loyal Party is paramount to our survival!

Since when are the likes of bought and sold corporate lackeys like Seymour interested in public input about anything? This is a virtue signal. Meaningless.
“Government’s priority is to keep the economy moving and minimise disruption to essential services, freight networks and households” enthused politician Seymour. Meanwhile, government’s action was to kill off our self reliance and independence by capping active oil wells and sabotaging our world renowned Refinery processing plant. Now this government is taking proactive steps by asking for public submissions. My hero.
This is the old, “were all in it together ploy”. Not too different from the “team of 5 million” crap Liebour tried on during the scamdemic. Usually rolled out when trying to disguise something criminal or a complete fuck up.
So Seymour calls for harder, state sanctioned energy lockdowns?
The quick fix is to allow oil from Russia. Too bad the US petrol dollar is getting in the way of practical solutions.
Young American soldiers are going to die in the coming weeks. Parents and wider family and friends are going to loose loved one. Dads and brothers kill to protect global taxes.
We may yet see a mutiny against the proxy war for Israel…these kids in uniform are full awake, and not ‘woke’!
A soft mutiny occurred on the USS Gerald Ford via sabotage of the waste water & sewage system on board.
A hard mutiny may be coming soon.
Re-enlistments have stopped, almost all service personnel from all branches of the U.S. Military are seeing everyone leave, and recruitment is at a snail’s pace. These are indicators that young Americans will no longer fight and die in Israel’s proxy wars that the corrupted and compromised U.S.Government has allowed to happen via Israeli / Mossad blackmailing, campaign donations, etc.
The next facet to World War Three in behalf of Israel and the Israeli/ Zionist Lobby will be the draft & conscription.
That isn’t going to work either, as during Vietnam, draft cards were burned, but this time around there will be an armed insurrection by those receiving draft notices. & this time around, they will be drafting women and re-calling Veterans back to the battlefields of war theatres, but this time around, there will be armed uprisings against the government by the Veterans, similar to the below…

And when Blackrock and Blackstone bullies come to town via ‘contractors’, then the below will probably be occurring as per the Second Amendment!

The shifty sheltered eye-darting professional coward LIARS the slimeball frauds luxon peters seymour and hipkins and all their scurrying bootlicking rat cohorts, the very very last pack of greasy arseholes you’d ever ever want to be pulling strings when sh*t goes down which it has because of the living breathing sack of egotistic strutting yank horsesh*t the complete and utter f*ckwit trump. Trust this clown show of treacherous disingenuous slimy sh*theads no further than you could ever spit in disgust.
But hey, hey, be sure to scurry into the polling booths and vote for either of this list of fkn snakes anyway.
Baaaaaaa…. Baaaaaaa… Baaaaaaaaaaa…..
