Shane Jones: Associate Energy Minister on the Govt's long-term fuel strategy, special economic zones

The Associate Energy Minister's suggesting domestic fuel producers could get special treatment, to shore up energy security. 

The Government's asking for feedback on its draft long-term fuel strategy.  

It focuses on resilience, domestic infrastructure, low-carbon alternatives, and security. 

Shane Jones told Heather di Plessis-Allan special economic zones present a great opportunity. 

He says in other countries they offer a range of incentives through tailored tax treatment and planning rules for the particular site, with areas like Marsden Point already an energy precinct.
