United Future New Zealand Hon Peter Dunne

[We] believe every effort should be made to encourage rapid exploration and economic exploitation of New Zealand's potential oil and gas reserves (within current environmental standards)
Oppose levying the oil industry to build additional oil storage capacity – this is a strategic government policy and as such should be paid for by the government
Oppose a standard royalty rate on new offshore oil discoveries being fixed in advance. We believe that the general policy should be a zero royalty rate with the government reserving the right to apply a royalty, on a case-by-case basis
