Very strongly agree

No, focus on keeping the moratorium to meet zero-carbon targets and protect the ocean

This closely matches Labour’s rationale for the 2018 offshore exploration ban and its broader emissions-reduction/zero-carbon positioning, including protecting marine environments.

Strongly agree

No

Labour’s 2018 policy decision was to keep the ban in place and focus on decarbonisation (alongside the Zero Carbon Act era), so it would generally agree with ‘No’.

Agree

No, set a policy that all future energy investment must strictly fund renewable sources

Labour strongly prioritises renewables and decarbonisation, but it has generally allowed some ongoing role for gas/other non-renewables for security and industrial process heat during transition, so it wouldn’t fully endorse an absolute renewables-only investment rule.

Disagree

Yes, focus on a transition period where gas is used as a bridge fuel for industrial needs

While Labour has at times acknowledged gas’s role in maintaining reliability during the transition, it has still maintained the 2018 ban on new offshore exploration permits, so it would be more against than for overturning it even with a ‘bridge fuel’ rationale.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Labour introduced the 2018 ban on new offshore oil and gas exploration permits (Ardern-led government) as part of its climate agenda, so it would strongly oppose overturning it.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, immediate universal restart of exploration to lower energy costs and boost the economy

An ‘immediate universal restart’ conflicts directly with Labour’s 2018 exploration ban and its climate/just-transition framing; Labour has not advocated a wholesale restart.
