The government's announced a 1.2 billion dollar gas transition loan scheme. A big bet on keeping some of New Zealand's most gas hungry businesses afloat. Finance Minister Nicola Willis says the government will guarantee 80% of each loan with about 48 million dollars set aside to cover potential losses. It's being framed as a lifeline. Help gas heavy manufacturers and processes stay open, protect jobs, and ease pressure on a shrinking and increasingly expensive fuel. But behind the headlines, big questions remain.
