It's also important to state why we are here. This is a direct result of Labour's 2018 oil and gas ban. When the gas ban was implemented, Minister Woods said, "Don't worry, we have 100,000 square kilometres of gas exploration already permitted." She said, "We have permits that go out for 30 years; the sky isn't falling in." What she didn't say is that gas doesn't come out of the ground by magic. Businesses need certainty to invest big sums of money, and they need to invest money in things called plant and equipment to get gas to our houses and factories and our electricity generation. Our trading partners have reduced emissions by using natural gas and turning off old coal-fed power stations and industrial heating. We instead are reducing significantly our supply of gas and discouraging investment in exploration of new gas fields.
