A focus on boosting our gas supply in the short-term from the Resources Minister.

New Zealand's gas reserves have dropped by 27% over the past year.

Last month, the Government committed $200 million to new gas projects following removal of a ban on offshore oil and gas exploration last year.

Shane Jones told Mike Hosking there's a lot of interest in the South Island, but new projects need to be well-thought out.
