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)
[We] 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
[We] 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
