> Senior Maori Government ministers Shane Jones and Tama Potaka say Maori will have plenty of opportunities to voice their views on the proposed changes to the Crown Minerals Act.  
>  
> The pair have organised a Zoom hui with iwi leaders tomorrow to outline plans for the removal of the ban on new oil and gas exploration and other proposed changes to the Crown Minerals regime.  
>  
> Jones said not all Maori are against gas and oil exploration.  
>  
> “The gas industry has boosted Taranaki including Maori for decades. It keeps our lights on. The sector can offer more but we need greater investment.” Jones told the Herald.  
>  
> “The legal requirement to engage with iwi is a chance to talk about energy security. This is economic reality not a cultural soap opera. I look forward to a robust exchange.  
>  
> “Iwi leadership needs to avoid green gullibility.”  
>  
> NZ Herald
