Shane Jones: ComCom "need to get to the bottom" of Gull fuel shortage

from The Weekend Collective · host Newstalk ZB

Prices are up at the pump, auto shops are selling out of jerry cans, and we've seen the reports of thousand litre IBC tanks being filled up at BP.  It's raised the question around whether the closure of Marsden Point has been more harmful to New Zealand's fuel security that we had initially realised.  New Zealand would still be reliant on imports to meet fuel needs, but having the ability to import crude oil rather than just refined oil would likely lift the pressure.
