    The Finance Minister's suggesting the last Government's gas policy plays into potential North Island mill closures

    The Finance Minister's suggesting the last Government's gas policy plays into potential North Island mill closures


    Winstone's Ohakune pulp and timber mills are struggling with power prices rising 600 percent in recent years.

    300 jobs are on the line.

    Nicola Willis says banning gas exploration was reckless, and a shortage of gas, is causing higher prices.
