    The Government's working to stay ahead of the effects of the war in Iran

    The Government's working to stay ahead of the effects of the war in Iran


    Crude oil prices have topped 100 US dollars a barrel for the first time since 2022 - and our petrol prices surged another 14 cents over the weekend.

    An economic security Ministerial Oversight Group's being set set up - to focus on fuel and supply chains.

    Associate Energy Minister and Resources Minister Shane Jones says it'll need high-quality, regular information.

    He says this needs to cover logistics, supply lines and shipping arrangements - and should be stood up as soon as possible.
