Not enough gas because 'Labour screwed the scrum'


Prime Minister Christopher Luxon told RNZ that Aotearoa doesn't have enough gas because Labour "screwed the scrum". 

Asked why power bills haven't decreased since they came into government, Luxon said it was down to Labour banning oil and gas. 

"We're repealing the oil and gas ban this quarter. We've got our fast track regime to get doubling of renewables in place and we're replacing the RMA."
