Associate Minister for Energy Shane Jones has vowed to fix the “the most destructive decision in the history of New Zealand’s industry” by restarting the oil and gas industry.
His comments came from a scrutiny hearing which quickly turned into an opportunity to attack the previous government – particularly former prime minister Jacinda Ardern and former energy minister Megan Woods – and for banning oil and gas exploration in 2018.
The hearing became tense at times, with committee chair Dr Parmjeet Parma having to interrupt to make sure opposition MPs stuck to questioning guidelines.
