What briefings, aide-memoires, or other information, if any, listed by title and date, has the Minister received regarding the impact of potential fuel shortages caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz on transport?

Answer

As Minister of Transport, I regularly request and receive advice from officials on a range of matters. MoT and NZTA publish monthly lists of titles of advice provided to me (refer to https://www.transport.govt.nz/about-us/our-corporate-publications/proactive-releases/results and https://www.nzta.govt.nz/about-us/advice-provided-to-ministers). Some of the titles may not be released if they relate to the provision of free and frank advice or are under active consideration. Furthermore, staff in my Office may informally receive documents, including draft advice, from officials and other Ministers' Offices. This information is not held in a format that can be easily extracted within the timeframe. I have received the following paper from KiwiRail: - 27 March 2026 - KiwiRail Briefing: Fuel impacts on KiwiRail
