30362 (2023). Hon Dr Megan Woods to the Minister for Resources: Does he agree with Regional Economic Development Minister Shane Jones that "Oil and gas will play a key role" in regional economic development, and if so, what will be the role of oil?

Hon Shane Jones: Yes, I agree. I am currently focused on delivering key priorities in the Government’s 100 Day Plan. New Zealand is open for business and the oil and gas industry is a key part of regional economic development.
