## Resource

Iran’s escalating moves in the Strait of Hormuz are sending shockwaves through global fuel markets, pushing pump prices toward $3 a liter in New Zealand. While the government responds with relief payments, diesel reserves, and temporary alignment with Australia’s fuel standards, public approval remains low — just 39% approve of the handling, according to a new poll. The crisis isn’t boosting any party’s political fortunes, and despite hints of pausing planned fuel tax hikes, no official relief is confirmed — leaving drivers and voters frustrated alike.
