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.
Southland District Council says it is actively managing the impacts of the current fuel supply challenges to ensure essential services across the district continue to operate safely and reliably.
OPINION: New conflict overseas comes with rising fuel costs, disrupted supply chains, and growing uncertainty across New Zealand, raising the question - why are we looking to expand our reliance on global energy markets, when we have the resourced to build our own?
OPINION: As the fuel crisis hits the country and rural New Zealand in particular, perhaps it's time to turn to one of the kaumatua of the rural sector, Pita Alexander - farm accountant, advisor and a source of knowledge and insightfulness.
OPINION: Reckless action by Greenpeace in 2024 forced Fonterra to shut down a drying plant for four hours, costing the co-op about $300,000.
Respected farm accountant Pita Alexander says with the present fuel crisis there are many ways farmers can reduce their consumption of petrol and diesel.
Three men have been sentenced in District Courts after Ministry for Primary Industries prosecutions over animal welfare, food safety and cattle tracing offences.
Fonterra’s 2026 financial year was a year of delivery, with record volumes of milk collected, processed and shipped by the co-op.
OPINION: The Government's decision to reinstate agriculture and horticultural science as a standalone subject from Year 11 is the right one.
Dairy farmers, still holding onto their Fonterra shares despite switching milk supply elsewhere or exiting the industry, now face a stricter share sell-down requirement.
Hamilton-based agritech company Aimer Farming has completed a $3 million capital raise to support its next stage of growth, including a beef farming product due to launch in 2027.
When dairy manager Miriam Lauridsen learned the farm, she was joining held weekly health and safety meetings, she initially thought that was “a bit over the top”. Experiencing that culture changed her mind.
OPINION: It seems Canterbury processor Synlait is still in the doldrums.
OPINION: Get offside with New Zealand First leader Winston Peters at your own peril.
