Shane Jones says while Kiwis may be concerned about fuel prices, they don't need to worry about fuel supply. 

The Government's updated its fuel response plan, so fuel is only restricted under phase four. 

At that phase, emergency services, health services, schools and courts would get uncapped priority access, while others would need to limit their fuel use. 

The Associate Energy Minster told Mike Hosking that at this stage, there is bugger all to worry about beyond price. 

However, he says the Government wanted to show businesses and other stakeholders that it was being proactive. 

“In the event we do strike a dangerous patch, then we've got additional fuel [at Marsden Point] that can be made available on a staggered managed basis. So it gives the confidence to the lifeline of the economy, the users of diesel, that it's actually here.”
