Hipkins: Govt “Not Prepared” for Fuel Crisis & Global War Fallout

The New Zealand fuel crisis isn’t theoretical anymore — it’s sitting just beneath the surface, waiting for the next global shock to expose how fragile things really are. And according to Chris Hipkins, that shock might already be here.
Labour leader Chris Hipkins warns New Zealand is unprepared for a worsening fuel crisis and global economic shock.
In this 1-on-1 in 10, we break down the growing risks to fuel supply, inflation, and the cost of living — alongside escalating geopolitical tensions from the Iran war.
With diesel shortages looming and global instability rising, the pressure on New Zealand’s economy is intensifying.
So how exposed are we really?
In this interview:
- Fuel crisis warnings and diesel supply risks
- Inflation surge and cost-of-living pressure
- Government preparedness — or lack of it
- Energy security and fuel rationing scenarios
- The global impact of the Iran war on New Zealand
- Trump, international law, and geopolitical instability
- Renewable energy and electrification strategy
- Marsden Point and fuel reserve decisions
- Fisheries policy and environmental concerns
As global conflict disrupts energy markets, one question remains:
What happens if the worst-case scenario hits?
Is New Zealand ready — or already falling behind?







So go on, ask dipshitkins what he’d do about it. Does he have an answer? A plan? Any idea about anything at all? Illuminate us, after all you expect us to vote for him. Why would we vote for soneone who achieved nothing last time and offers nothing this time?
Fuck pronouns
Hipkins is correct. This CoC is “NOT PREPARED” for the fuel crisis, the global war fallout and a failed economy! In fact they have, since they were elected, NOT been ready since they don’t have the calibre of leadership or politicians but are a Kakistocracy of Wannabes in there for their own benefits. How voters can keep electing them is an absolute mystery and our media are so “bought and paid for” that they are incapable of fair and unbiased reporting. So much has gone wrong with our lovely NZ in the past two years, it’s heartbreaking. We are a tiny country that punches well above its weight but when corruption and dishonesty are put into the mix, you get what you deserve. FGS Kiwis, wake up before it’s too late. We should never have allowed our NZ to be run by ‘unscrupulous outsiders’ and if we are to survive, it has to change now!!!
