Old Shane Jones spouting utter nonsense about oil exploration. It would do nothing to improve NZ’s energy security. (Investing in wind and solar would) We can’t afford to burn even existing reserves if we’re to avoid climate catastrophe. The oil industry won’t risk returning!

Even the conservative International Energy Agency says that oil and gas exploration should end immediately if countries are to successfully reach net-zero by 2050 and keep planetary temperatures to 1.5C, which is a target that National has committed to.

These right-whingers seem to forget that they won't always be in power. Whatever powers they give themselves, they give us as well. Careful what you wish for Shane

Indeed. Shane Jones' answers on RNZ this morning was entirely very shallow spin. No mention that most of cuts to oil & gas exploration took place under the form John Key led National Government for the same reasons that the Labour led government, in coalition with NZFirst, banned it in 2018.
