Head Hunter with more than 125 convictions serving more jail time over drugs and firearms.

The Finance Minister says Cabinet was discussing relief packages for Kiwis.

Donald Trump has threatened to "obliterate" Iranian power plants if the country does not lift its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

The US president gave Iran a 48-hour deadline to reopen the critical waterway in a chilling ultimatum shared on Truth Social at 10.44am AEDT.

"If Iran doesn't FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST," Trump wrote.

"Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP."

Trump has previously called on key NATO allies to pressure Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

"They didn't want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran. Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don't want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices," Trump said in an earlier post on Truth Social.

The Strait of Hormuz is the only waterway in or out of the Persian Gulf and is a vital passageway for crude oil tankers.

Its closure has put enormous pressure on global oil supply, sending liquid fuel prices soaring across the world.

Trump's latest threat against Iran follows the president's extraordinary criticism over Australia's lack of involvement in the conflict thus far.

The president on Friday told journalists that Australia should get involved and that he was "a little bit surprised that they said no because we always say yes to them".

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Trump had not officially asked Australia for support.

"We have done what we have asked been asked to do," Albanese said at a press conference in Melbourne.

The truth is that we have said yes to the request [from] the UAE for the E-7 Wedgetail aircraft that is operating there with personnel operating as well. In addition to that, we've sent AMRAAM [interceptor missiles].

"That's making a difference as well, to intercept missiles or drones aimed at the UAE. So we continue to provide the support that we have been asked to provide."
