The Resources Minister is hitting out at banks for punishing "god-fearing regional businesses". 

New Zealand First's Shane Jones has told The Australian newspaper banks are imposing "woke-riddled" costs on a productive sector, by reducing services to fossil fuel businesses.  

Jones told Mike Hosking he has every right to fight this, despite banks struggling with things like margins and the commerce commission at the moment.  

He says the fossil fuel businesses are doing nothing wrong, what they're doing is offending executives' luxury beliefs. 

Jones says the coal industry is an “honest, legitimate industry”, and people will back electricity before they back chilliness. 

Winston Peters and Shane Jones aren't backing down over their comments about foreign-born Green MPs. 

Peters has told the MPs they have ideas "foreign to the country", and they should show some gratitude for the country. 

Jones referenced U.S. President Donald Trump in his jeers, yelling, “Trump! Trump! Send the Mexicans home!” 

Peters says MPs should go somewhere else if they're too soft for robust Parliamentary debates. 

Jones told Hosking "it's a Mexican stand-off".
