We have a situation where we are importing inflation, importing scarcity problems because of a war that New Zealand had absolutely nothing to do with initiating. We do have a system of statutory obligations that every fuel importer of size must meet in New Zealand and they are meeting them. My only gripe with the fuel companies is that they've got to stand up and consistently explain to Kiwis where we do have small problems. where they're running short of fuel. It's not the issue that the fuel is not in the country. They've got to sort their logistics out. We are working with Nicola and we have now agreed to fund up to 100 million litres of new storage through recommissioned tanks at Marsden Point. Now something that the Labour Party never got around to doing for three years, I'm going to have it done within eight to ten weeks.
