A fun thing opposition MPs could do, is offer to read the kids' original speeches out for them verbatim, and then ask the government which specific bits they were scared of.

David Seymour is saying the 130,000 submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill are mostly just thanks to a Greenpeace email campaign, and not people who have something to say about it.
He's wrong.
Only about 12,000 came through the Greenpeace submission guide, and they ALL deserve to be heard.

As long as their rate of wealth growth exceeds growth rate of the country, without any mechanism to redistribute this wealth, this percentage will grow,
