Go for it Shane, brilliant speech.

Height of stupidity to ditch the refinery.

Excellent speech. Full of common sense, something the previous government had zero of !

Marsden pionts closure is one of the things that need covering in Arderns pre trial enquiry.

Chloe arrived on her wind powered pushbike , overtaking the te Pati warriors on foot , in their grass dresses and heavy as bone carvings, towing along the woke Chris, who's still trying to figure out what a women is ,just to hear Shane's absolute reality speech,......oooooofff...! 💪😎🍺🇳🇿

Well said Shane Jones i am glad i supported NZ FIRST PARTY

And that, is a man who is enthralling to listen to. Keep it up Shane Jones.

Great speech Shane. Be nice if all Kiwis sat down and listened to his sensible logical and futuristic words. Our next PM after Sir Winnie. Go New Zealand First.

Absolutely brilliant delivery Shane Jones . I am now confident in calling myself a New Zealander . That is my investment.

Well said . We need the refinery. We need gas ,coal and oil let's not be stupid like labour and greens .

NZ First the only party with balls 👍

There is no c.... emergency. Go for it NZF.

Jonesy you are the best speaker in the house. Well Winston is up there too.

So refreshing to hear some common sense being voiced to those who cannot see the wood for the trees. We are living in a real world and not a dreamworld.

This man speaks logical sense, anyone with a little bit of intelligence can see that. If we do not follow this commonsense line towards future energy in this country, we are destined to disaster. And i am not personally an admirer of Shane Jones or Winnie for that matter, but i do respect commonsense in any form for our future. Veteran. 84yo. New Zealand.

Closing Marsden Point was crazy

Renew Marsden Point. Good tar for our roads and quality fuel. Not to mention CO2 for our beers. Just control the fishing industry with cameras.

Awesome speech and so proud of Shane - Total truth 👏🏻

The Yabba Dabba Doo party over there lol, epic!

Shane Jones is Absolutely correct .Under Helen Clark we had 30 days supply fuel ,Under OECD ,We got improvements for 90 days ,extra Bulk Tanks at Wiri and AUCKLAND Airport .mainly for Jet A1 TO Supply Auckland Airport ,this pipeline is too small to meet demand , Now THE PIPELINE IS FULL OF CONCRETE .Now they have to start all over again and it was there in the first place , Well done Shane ,

Awesome thank you 👍

Great speech brilliant Minister Shane Jones

As a small time builder,im impressed,im aiming for 3K per2m on my new build at present.

Very well said😊

Great to see some common sense leading NZ at last

At last garden variety common sense is back ..👏 the recommissioning of Marsdon Point is imperative .. Surely Helen Clark extracted some sort of sustainable longevity agreement from the oil companies when she gifted them a $1.8 billion taxpayer funded essential infrastructure investment ? Time to revisit the terms of reference .

Thank you Megan Woods for this debacle

Nice one Shane. We need hope for a prosperous future….this government is on the right track as long as NZ First is involved.

Excellent!!

Thank you Sir, Fantastic, Clear, informative, on point. Why has it taken NZ so long to create a Politician , who wants to help, develop, grow ,secure, inspire, this tiny waka, crikey. He's good for New Zealand. Shane Jones works because He speaks the Truth with sense. Better for NZ than a winning All Black team.

Never herd Soo much common sense Shane Jones is completely right. Around 18 years ago it was $800 per m2

You tell them Shane. They should be charged with treason....

an articulate and intelligent oratory that defines positive and well expressed policy a welcome change from the previous government inepitude

You are just the best Shane 😅

Thank you Shane for speaking for the people who have for years been ignored and routed

Fancy having 21days back up And not calling themselves #CorruptPreviousGovt #ImportedIdologys #SabotageinCamouflage

Onya Shane, I am liking your factual deliveries (at times very humorous), much respect for you and NZFirst's standing on this community.. I do believe the silent majority is listening

Yes !!!!

Thank you

So refreshing to have an adult in the room.

its heart warming to hear sensible plans ahead to lift this beautiful country out of the dark lala land of fluffy ideas, thank you Mr Jones and Mr Peters

Shane Jones ROX ❤️

Brilliant Mr Jones....thank you....saw a video clip a few weeks back where China delivered 20,000 homes to Africa in 3 days....just a thought.

Brilliant Shane Jones!

outstanding...

Thank you for your commonsense Shane... A breath of fresh air ! ! !

Awesome common sense. Thank you Lord God Almighty for Truth being spoken for New Zealand.

I live locally. I heard that some workers were sent in to remove and sell off certain key structural equipment to ensure that it would be impossible to rebuild it, or at least, making it very expensive. And the pylon - that is a direct result of our pathetic checkbox attitude towards education resulting in low-ability / low common sense / low ability to make decisions.

Him and Winston are the real voices of this Government

SHANE JONES..YOUR ALWAYS ON POINT..WITH WHAT YOU SAY..I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU LOVE OUR NZ..TO MAKE IT GREAT AGAIN..LOVE YOU..❤❤❤❤❤❤

Well spoken Minister Shane Jones

We don’t have a MSM that can and will inform the public. Having to go online to find the news and watch an empty House of our representatives is a wake up call for what has happened to our lives in NZ. We the citizens have allowed this to happen!!

I am 100% on Shane side on this! What a stupid short sighted senseless unscientific decision to close Marsden point! Shane is absolutely right on the energy argument! Talk about destroying our ability to be self-sufficient and use our own local natural resources! Shane is so on-point here!!!

Well spoken Shane Ka Pia, from Pouwaka Ruwhiu

I’m proud to say NzFirst got our vote.what a fantastic team,what a great man speaking

Well said Mr Jones. How about looking into the effect weather modification is having on New Zealand ? But well said Sir.

Shane Jones 😎 👍

Well said Shane - totally agree with you on all points raised - common sense approach and good to jab the socialists who planned for an energy and economic demise. Good idea about the granny flat - practical solution for many

I didn't used think much of this man but in recent times he's standing up.

for the cost per square meter maybe the government should look into why the building materials are so expensive, when we have the timber forests here, etc, ?

We import 50% of our resources. I've always been nervous about what might happen if the world (suddenly) changed. Combined with living on the planet's edge, I think it's a good idea to future-proof our military and energy sector. PS: Can we get dairy prices down. We're known for it internationally but we pay a fortune for our own product.

Ardern and anyone else involved in the closure of marsden point should be in jail, it was a stupid mistake. Shane Jones is absolutely correct, no fuel the country stands still.

To right Shane...as usual

And this is why I vote NZ First

Kia kaha NZ first!

ALL Government departments and that goes for hospital departments as well, must be named in English so the ordinary New Zealander, plus foreign visitors know at a glance what they are looking at. If virtue signallers feel the need that they must include the cuzzy/bro name as well it should be in smaller lettering to avoid confusion. Was this change not part of coalition policy when it was seeking office?

Solar and wind is not reliable and costly

The minister did suggest the rate of royalties will be increased as current the rate is about 4%. An article by Glenn Phillips reviews mining.

So refreshing to here some realistic ideas and developed them to better nz stability.

Yes they never should have closed Marsden Point... You tell 'em Shane 🇳🇿😊

all very well having a granny flat on your property but as soon as you put a kitchen sink in it the rates go up 50% you need to stop local councils from doing this great vid love you guys

Well said act about housing you got balls about time a minster started too talk about real issues and fight for the real issues NOW ACT Stand up for real NEW ZEALANDERs families and get them in to affordable housing NOW No excuses With out a home 🏠 we are nothing 80 % of NZ is uninhabited land New Zealand first or act or national Act now

He is correct here

This was about the then Govt showing off woke credentials, not falsehoods. Careerism.There was a local bid, fronted by the excellent Labour MP for Northland (!yes!) which Jacinda and co turned down.

Say what you like about his policies but Matua Jones can certainly speak proficiently!

I'm surprised the consequences weren't obvious to them at the time. When I read that the Marsden pipework was being backfilled with concrete, I sold my V6 and bought a small car. A couple of months later Putin invades Ukraine and petrol hit $3.50/Litre.

Hear! Hear!

Fantastic Matua Shane!

This fella is spot on..from OZ

Mastery in the house!

Shane, thank you for getting on with the job of energy security. The ball was seriously dropped by the previous govt, they have left NZ very vunerable. Climate extremist's have no idea of the real world. Cost's have gotten so far out of control it is hurting many people, it did not have to be like that.Spend and plan wisely from now on.

Ardern committed treason

GO SPEECH MR JONES !

Rail is more fuel efficient than trucks!

Wow! She! Brilliant! ❤

This matter about Marsden Point is an example of private business . We have hydro power in rivers through a mixed economy.

Climate Changes 4 times a Year : Summer Autumn Winter Spring 😊

A question for you fellas....for how long can we keep growing the economy ?

Go shane

Bravo

QV reported average Sq m in Northland was higher in Northland than Auckland by $400. Average building costs as at August 2023 were between 2,900 to 3,600.

There was no mention of the 64,000 houses built in Auckland over the period 2018-2023. As permits have dropped dramatically as of April 2024.

well said shane

Finally someone told us that KO buildings are for the most part built to a higher standard than many private homes in nz. Building at $6,500 per square is very expensive compared to the cost of the average, private, standard builds, especially those built in our biggest cities. Do KO pay the same build costs as private housing is a question many would like an answer to - site development fees, GST, council consenting, development fees and the like? Are we building 'lifetime' homes or are these meant to be short term to get people back in a position to join the private market as a renter or future owner? The general public need the truth about the KO building programme parameters in order to really see how our tax dollars are being spent.

It was closed by the owners, the big 4, not the government.

Agree with you Shane in what you said. Let's be honest, will Marsden Point refinery ever be rebuilt?. It can be done but who in this current parliament has the political will to push it through and make it happen.

We don't want to hear about the last regime

Good on Yah uncle Shane

Why even have a climate change commission? What an unnecessary waste of time, space and money.

April 22 , 22% increase in house construction cost, then by December 2022 a further 11.3% and by June 2023 a further 9.5% on the previous 12 months. S Jones did not mention the information from QV . Why?
