16870 (2026). Lemauga Lydia Sosene to the Minister of Internal Affairs: Further to her answer to written question 12421 (2026): at what price, if any, does Fire and Emergency New Zealand consider fuel to be at a concerning price pressure?

Hon Brooke van Velden: I am advised that Fire and Emergency New Zealand does not set a specific fuel price at which it considers cost pressure to be concerning. Instead, it monitors fuel costs as part of its overall financial position and assesses impacts in the context of its total budget and operational requirements.
