More people have been filling up at petrol stations as prices climb. The Waitomo Group says there's been a 15-20% increase in demand in the past week. Chief Executive Simon Parham says pump prices have gone up from about 10 to 20 cents a litre. He told Mike Hosking it's because they buy their product on a weekly basis. Parham says with short sharp shocks it's very hard to avoid price increases. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government is actively monitoring the impact international fuel prices are having on the price we're being asked to pay at the pump. Crude oil prices have topped US$100 a barrel for the first time in three years, and our petrol prices surged another 14 cents in the weekend. Finance Minister Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking that they're conscious that the price at the pump impacts not only most New Zealanders, but also freight costs and other costs across the economy. But she says they need to understand what the bigger picture looks like before they overreact, as any money they throw at the problem is money they will need to borrow. “We need to be prudent about New Zealand's fiscal position.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Queues are forming at petrol stations as concerns over increasing fuel prices brought on by the war in Iran. International oil prices have increased since the start of the war as traffic halts in the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's crude oil is transported. Waitomo Group CEO Simon Parham joins Heather du Plessis-Allan to chat about the near-future of our gas prices. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oil prices across the globe have surged to multi-year highs, as the war in Iran expands into a broader regional conflict. A prolonged war risks disrupting energy supply chains, particularly as key shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz are effectively closed. Analysts say impacts are already being felt - and that has implications for the global economic outlook and inflation.

The Middle East conflict could bring significant pain at the New Zealand petrol pump. The price of brent crude has already risen about 16 percent in the past week. The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow strip of water between Oman and Iran is a vital shipping lane for about 20 percent of the world's oil. Iran is threatening to attack any ships trying to pass through the strait. Waitomo Group chief executive Simon Parham spoke to Lisa Owen.

As tensions flare in the Middle East, global oil markets are on edge. Here in Singapore, major players like Shell, Caltex, Esso and Sinopec have raised 95-octane prices to around $2.92 a litre. Behind the spike? Growing fears that supplies could be disrupted through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints. But this isn’t just a story for motorists. Singapore depends heavily on imported energy, especially natural gas and LNG, to keep the lights on and businesses running. So could higher oil prices feed into broader inflation pressures? And for drivers, should we brace for even more pain at the pump in the days ahead? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Song Seng Wun, economic advisor at the SDAX investment platform, to find out more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There have been emotional scenes at Sydney Airport after the first flight from the Middle East to Australia arrived safely late last night.Thousands of Australians remain stranded in the region. A second commercial flight is expected to leave Abu Dhabi later today.The federal government's also sending crisis teams to the region to help the thousands of Australians.Countries around the world are chartering repatriation flights from the Middle East, in an enormous logistical exercise that's likely to take days.There have been other developments relating to the conflict...Sri Lankan officials say at least 87 people have been killed after the United States torpedoed an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean.The latest figures show about 200 international oil tankers are stuck after traffic through the Strait of Hormuz ground to a halt, as owners wait to see if it's safe to cross through.The Australian treasurer's warning of big economic consequences impacting oil and gas prices as well as inflation.In other news, the alleged attempted bombing of an Invasion Day rally in Perth has sparked a federal parliamentary inquiry into racism, hate and violence directed at Indigenous people.Police allege Liam Alexander Hall threw a homemade bomb into the crowd in Perth's CBD on January the 26th.The Labor-dominated committee is expected to explore the role of social media, and discuss ways to combat racism.Parts of North Queensland are on cyclone watch.The weather bureau says there's a moderate chance of a tropical low developing into a cyclone before making landfall between Cairns and Innisfail tomorrow.Heavy rain's forecast and winds are expected to pick up tomorrow.Former Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn will today learn if he'll be bailed as he awaits a retrial for the murder of Carol Clay in a remote campsite in Victoria's High Country.Mr Lynn's conviction for the murder of Ms Clay was overturned last year.Last week, Mr Lynn's defence team argued "exceptional circumstances" of the case meant their client should be released on bail to live with his son.

If this is still going on in two or three weeks, lots of countries, including ours, will start to feel the pinch. Brent Crude Futures topped out at $85 a barrel overnight, the highest price since 2024. JP Morgan says it could hit, worst-case, $120. The Iraqis are now pulling back production because of the Hormuz logjam. Refineries in Asia are, according to Bloomberg, thinking about cutting production by 20-30% for the same reason. You've got tankers backing up and unable to port. All this stuff means delays. Our economy is quite dependant on oil and gas. It's a common misconception that we aren't. Because we generate 80% of energy as renewables, or thereabouts, people often think that's the same as use. In fact, about 60% of our energy comes from fossil fuels. Kelly Eckhold from Westpac told me yesterday it's likely petrol prices will go up for us. As of yesterday, he estimated 8 cents a litre at the pump within a week or two. Oil prices are lower by comparison of late but that $100 to $120 barrel JP Morgan scenario is key. That's the point at which our inflation forecasts would have to change. And we know that that means, prices going up. Think about how much of what you do in a day, driving a car, using a plastic pen, powering your business, trucks getting food to supermarkets, uses oil. And once you get those prices going up, you get general prices going up. And then you get the Reserve Bank's back up. And then what? Do consumers pull back spending again? Is this event the hill our recovery dies on? Let's hope not. It's early days. Scenarios are exactly that. A lot of TBC. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
