Minister for Resources Shane Jones has confirmed that the Government will introduce a bill later this year to reverse the previous government's ban on oil and gas exploration in 2018.
The announcement came after thousands took to the streets to protest what they labelled the Government's "war on nature".
MPs Shane Jones and Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick joined TVNZ's Breakfast to debate this reversal.

Due to the immense volume of comments 1News videos attract, we've made the decision to hold all comments for review, and in some cases, turn them off entirely.
1News is a media outlet based in New Zealand, and could potentially be liable for any comments that defame others or breach New Zealand law. Our content receives thousands of comments each day, and we lack the capacity to moderate that volume without holding comments for review.
This decision ensures that our platform remains a safe and compliant space for all viewers. We appreciate your understanding and continued support.
