Now, in 2018, the Prime Minister announced a ban on oil and gas exploration. Since then, gas prices have skyrocketed. Manufacturing and production industries have either shut production lines or quit New Zealand altogether with the loss of jobs and all of those opportunities in the regions and in provincial communities. And according to climate Minister Shaw this afternoon, this Government and their Green Party coalition members are only just getting going. That should be a worry for everybody involved in making things and producing things in New Zealand.
