12212 (2026). Hon Jo Luxton to the Associate Minister for Energy: At each level of the Fuel Response Plan, what proportion of fuel (by type) if any, would be strictly reserved for agricultural operations, and which agricultural sectors would have priority allocation to essential services?

Hon Shane Jones: We expect almost all situations will be managed at phases 1 or 2, with phases 3 and 4 used only if absolutely necessary. The Government is working up detail with industry and key frontline services to determine how phases 3 and 4 will be implemented. There will be priority bands, and we will continue to work closely with industry on how allocation of fuel would be managed.
