29973 (2023). Hon Dr Megan Woods to the Minister for Resources: Does the Minister agree with the statement: "Looking at the world today or tomorrow, no one can convince me that oil and gas represent safe or secure energy choices for countries,” if not, what evidence does he have to support a belief contrary to that of the executive director of the International Energy Agency?

Hon Shane Jones: New Zealand has its own unique conditions that we must manage to ensure a safe and secure energy future.
