We’re working hard to ensure New Zealand’s fuel needs are met amidst the conflict in the Middle East, which is causing disruption to supply and higher prices at the pump.
With a third of New Zealand’s fuel refined in Singapore, it was great to speak tonight with Prime Minister @LawrenceWongST. We agreed on the importance of allowing essential goods, including fuel, to keep flowing between our two countries.
When I visit Singapore in May, we will sign the Agreement on Trade in Essential Supplies, a deal that will help keep supply chains flowing for fuel, food and other products.
Building on the great platform we’ve built with one another, we also talked about what further work our Governments can do together as we navigate through these supply chain challenges.
Sharp price increases at the pump are putting pressure on many Kiwis.
The Government is working quickly to provide support to those who need it most, and we’ll have more to say about that soon.
We will ensure that any support we do provide is carefully targeted, timely and temporary because we know that every dollar we spend must be paid back by taxpayers over time.
In times like this, responsible economic management is how we can best protect New Zealand from global uncertainty.
Alert: 🚨🚨🚨
Chris Luxon must be held accountable for crimes against Kiwis IF he keeps refusing or hesitating to open direct channels with Russia for affordable refined OIL.
Make no mistake: Luxon and Seymour are the ones who slammed the door on Russian oil, then flushed millions of taxpayers’ dollars straight to the corrupt Zelensky regime instead.
This is because Luxon is a weak and compromised prime minister. NZ must come FIRST not Zelensky !

Trump is planning to go back to the negotiating table with Iran
The focus is still on the nuclear program, the missile program, and non-state actors - Axios
Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir:
Iran launched a two-stage intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of 4,000 kilometers toward an American target on the island of Diego Garcia.
These missiles are not intended to strike Israel. Their range reaches European capitals — Berlin, Paris, and Rome are all within direct threat range.

Iran executed the 19-year-old champion, Saleh Mohammadi for protesting the Khamenei regime.
Nothing from Greta Thunberg, Gary Lineker, Charlotte Church, sectarian Muslim politicians.
No hunger strikes on University campuses.
Where have all the “human rights” activists gone?
