@JonoMilne @NewsroomNZ How long does a tanker usually take to arrive in NZ from Korea or Japan? I am very aware of the huge no-tanker gap

@tmurphyNZ @carlworker If they don't, we could be in deep doo-doos. Your Newsroom tanker tracker doesn't show many deliveries after this month

@carlworker Might Singapore and less likely South Korea, where we refine through, get a green light? Or too US-aligned in the view of Tehran?

And New Zealand?
BIG Ⓜ️@OceanBoy
South Africa, Italy, India, Pakistan, France have all been given approval to ship oil through Strait of Hormuz. Australia is not included because @AlboMP supports the war. Remember this the next time you can afford to fill up and the next time you vote. #auspol

@StephenJacobi @carlworker Meanwhile.. what have we got a Foreign Minister currently? Someone who doesn't appear on Q&A (like his PM), who leans toward Trump and usually doesn't answer questions without some personal abuse
English
@carlworker Yes I thought so too - principled and pragmatic as well as articulate!

@tmurphyNZ I'm afraid Lagarde could well be right. Meanwhile, in this little country our govt has adopted she'll be right

Buckle up. Economic disruption ‘could last years….’

@BenThomasNZ is one of Stuff’s more jaundiced right-wing opine writers and devoid of facts saying Hipkins was not giving help to what govt should do about fuel crisis. But he did, saying he wasn’t going to bag govt like Nats playing politics over Covid always saying spend more.

@VernonSmall Let alone the $250m? for the 10,000 chargers by 2030. Remind me, what exactly have they delivered since 2023?
English
In light of the govt’s weekend $52.7m EV charger announcement there was a press release in April 2025 that talked of setting aside up to $68.5m in grant funding for concessionary loans for EV chargers.

Nearly two weeks since foreign minister Winston Peters said the Iran-Mideast conflict would end "much more quickly than people are thinking".

@MHReddell So please don't defend their economic management either

I’m not going to defend Lab’s econ mgmt, or that of the RB MPC Lab (re)appointed but……net debt is a lot higher than it was in the last oil shock (2022) & is a lot higher than it was when this govt took office.
The govt simply is not as they like to claim “repaying the debt”
NZ National Party@NZNationalParty
The conflict in the Middle East will have an impact on the economy, but NZ is starting from a much stronger position now than was the case a few years ago under Labour - when debt had reached $120b, inflation was at a 32 year high of 7.3%, and skyrocketing mortgage repayments and higher taxes were weighing Kiwis down.

Some excellent points made here. We need definitive action from government. Is it really true cabinet has not discussed a detailed set of measures to manage supply?
