Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says her comments on oil and gas exploration relate to the current permit process, but says that’s linked to the wider issue of the industry’s future.
Ms Ardern yesterday accepted a Greenpeace petition signed by 45,000 people wanting an end to oil exploration, telling protesters she was “actively considering” the issue.
National Party leader Simon Bridges called on the Prime Minister to be clear about exactly what her plans were.
