Fuel Crisis

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: Governments all over the world are dealing with the fuel crisis.

And most governments and their people have no direct involvement in the conflict.

Credit to our government for announcing a raft of measures to tackle what could turn into a full-blown crisis in the coming weeks.

But, typically, Greenpeace isn't happy claiming the government is implementing short-term 'band aids'.

The biggest disadvantage facing NZ as the crisis deepens is that Marsden Point refinery was forced to close under the watch of the previous government.

Wonder why Greenpeace isn't talking about that.
