The Prime Minister is expected to announce how the Government plans to help ease the financial pressure at the petrol pump, amid warnings that unleaded petrol could hit $4 per litre. 

"We're looking at options to try and ease the particular impact of the energy crisis right now that we're seeing as a result of the war in Ukraine. We, as a Cabinet, need to discuss what the best mechanisms are," Ardern told AM on Monday morning. 

"I'll be looking to announce the outcome."
