Who are Energy Voices?PEPANZ – the Petroleum Exploration & Production Association of New Zealand – has started the Energy Voices campaign to give those directly impacted the chance to be heard, to raise awareness of the negative impacts, and to build public support for restoring offshore exploration for oil and natural gas.Over the past months we've talked to a wide range of people who are seriously concerned about the impacts this policy will have on New Zealanders.The exploration decision will have such a serious impact for New Zealand that we can't just stay quiet. This is an unusual step for us and one we didn't make lightly, but that's how important this issue is.How Energy Voices will campaign:This is not a partisan campaign and it's not aimed at politicians; instead, it's aimed at all New Zealanders.Take the time to learn more about the decision, the facts and what the impacts will be. Talk to your friends and families to raise the level of debate in our community. A better-informed New Zealand will make better decisions for our future.Take part in the discussion, have your say and tell the Government what you think.
