Nathan Surendran: Wise Response Society chair on New Zealand's response to the ongoing fuel crisis

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

Some experts have raised concerns that the Government's fuel response is not proactive enough. A month ago, the Government detailed our response phases and what would trigger a move between phases - but the country remains in level one with no restrictions.  Wise Response Society chair Nathan Surendran says margins are getting eroded and the economic outlook is worsening as a result. "We should at least be at phase two, we should be saving, we should be conserving fuel - it takes time for people to adapt, they have to think through what they can actually do without."
