SIMON COURT (ACT): Thank you, Madam Chair. To the Minister: I'm sure that there will be many opportunities to respond to questions about energy, which is a vital plank in New Zealand's economic self-sustainability, and cheap energy is actually something that has allowed New Zealand manufacturing businesses to compete very effectively, even with much larger businesses and much larger countries around the world. So we understand that there's a risk that's developed over time that is now manifested with the rapid decline of the Pohokura field and the time that that is taking to have it, essentially, refreshed with additional drilling and maintenance so that it can be brought back online. So the ACT Party understands, to some extent, how we've got to this point, but does the Minister agree with the Genesis CEO, who said on Radio New Zealand yesterday, that,now existing gas fields are declining much faster than anticipated, the Government's ban on oil and gas exploration is becoming an issue with respect to future electricity supply? And would she be able to reassure the House that Government policy, in terms of banning oil and gas exploration, has not contributed in any way to the situation that we find ourselves in?
