  "textContent": "**This is edition 2026/057 of the _Ten@10_ newsletter.**\n\nHi all,\n\nThis is the Ten@10, where I collate and summarise ten news items you generally won't see in the mainstream media.\n\nEnjoy!\n\n* * *\n\n## 1. The Energy insurance that NZ never bought\n\nBryce Edwards\n\n  * ⚡ The energy crisis debate has shifted from current actions to past decisions ministers failed to make when warned\n  * 🛢️ Investigations reveal New Zealand was left exposed after ignoring advice to strengthen fuel reserves\n  * 🏭 After the 2022 closure of Marsden Point refinery, officials planned a 70 million litre diesel reserve—but it was never funded or completed\n  * ❌ In 2024, Associate Energy Minister Shane Jones cancelled the reserve plan citing cost pressures, despite warnings it would increase vulnerability until at least 2028\n  * 💸 The $84M cost once seen as expensive now appears cheap after global fuel prices surged as a result of geopolitical conflict\n  * 📉 Consultants repeatedly warned of diesel shortages in a prolonged disruption, but the Government delayed action and shifted responsibility to fuel companies\n  * 🧯 Critics argue New Zealand has effectively “risked it” rather than investing in fuel security\n  * 🏗️ Alternative resilience options—like maintaining refinery capability or using existing Marsden Point storage—were available but not pursued\n  * 🚨 The Government is now considering accessing emergency fuel reserves from overseas, signalling the crisis may last months\n  * 🚢 Limited domestic storage means officials may need floating tankers, highlighting failures in infrastructure planning\n  * ⚠️ A contradiction is emerging: officials publicly downplay risk while privately preparing for supply disruptions\n  * 🌏 Export restrictions from key fuel-supplying countries have already triggered escalation thresholds, suggesting the crisis response is lagging reality\n  * 🔌 The Government’s proposed LNG terminal—meant to secure electricity supply—is now in doubt due to soaring global gas prices and supply disruptions\n  * 🧭 Leadership concerns are growing, with criticism that Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has been absent while the crisis escalates\n  * 🧾 Overall, both Labour and the current Government share blame, but the decision to cancel the diesel reserve is seen as a critical failure that worsened New Zealand’s position\n\n\n\nRead More\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
