A retired physician with training and experience in a variety of fields in science and medicine; and an interest in many topics. I am a strong advocate for free thought, critical thinking, honest non-partisan media, democracy, justice and peace.
Here is a link to where you can make a submission. It’s not difficult to do.
I would suggest you emphasise the loss of democracy, and transparency and the risk of various forms of corruption inherent in this corporate focused legislation.

I’d say this was unbelievable, it’s so undemocratic - but evidently we are further along the descent into autocracy/totalitarianism.
All bills should be subject to public debate in parliament, and public voting. What are we? China or Russia?

In a world where science and facts are being side-lined in favour of political agendas - we may see a change in this trend.
In New Zealand, despite actually having a doctor as Minister of Health, the govt is changing laws/regs to kow-tow to tobacco/vape industries.

A paper from 1856 isn’t justification for ignoring formula IDs in chemistry
CaCO3 is calcium carbonate. It is not CO2 or carbonic acid
CO2 and other substances can be byproducts of reactions with calcium carbonate
CaCO3 is usually earth or water bound, not itself a natural vapour in th atmosphere

No it isn’t. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas.
When combined with water vapour it potentially changes its chemical structure into carbonic acid (H2CO3).
When it does that, chemically it is no longer CO2.
In presence of water, carbonic acid dehydrates to carbon dioxide and water

Carbonic acid (H2CO3) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are two different chemicals.
When CO2 naturally dissolves in seawater, it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3), releasing hydrogen ions (H+) and increasing 👉🏼ocean👈🏼 acidity.
However manmade projects can also increase ocean acidity
