Energy and Resources Minister Shane Jones has been caught up in a climate protest, while on a walk - over policy he's spearheading.

A small group of protestors marched down Wellington's Lambton Quay opposing the Government's bill reversing Labour's ban on oil and gas exploration.

They told Jones he should be ashamed of himself, a claim he loudly rebutted, saying they were being hyperbolic and extreme.

ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper unpacks Jones's response to the backlash.
