Don’t sit this one out. The Regulatory Standards Bill is a direct threat to all of us.

It’s a gift to corporates. It favours privatisation & cuts to public services.

If there’s one thing you do this weekend, make a submission and get a mate to do one too.

Closes 1pm, Mon 23 June 2025.

Dusk is excellent. I thought I’d discovered a great new author (for me) but realised I’d read Limberlost a few years ago - also excellent
