Here's my submission. I also added my name and address
I am writing to submit my opposition to the Regulatory Standards Bill. Versions of this Bill have been proposed a number of times over the last 20 years and previous versions were rebuffed due to the challenges they made to parliamentary sovereignty. These concerns remain with the current version of this Bill. It is worth noting that David Seymour’s Ministry of Regulation has noted that the Bill does not mention Te Tiriti. This is a huge omission which means that there is no provision in the Bill for how the Crown will meet its Treaty obligations. This Bill reduces the government’s ability to ensure environmental protections and would give priority to property rights over things like environmental standards. Furthermore, in establishing a Regulatory Standards Board the Bill would remove the role of the courts to consider complaints about existing regulations. This Bill would embed a worldview in the heart of Aotearoa’s constitutional framework which would limit legislative flexibility, executive decision-making and judicial interpretation. Good regulation is essential for a safe and thriving Aotearoa. This Bill would limit government’s right to make rules that are based on the interests of all New Zealanders. I urge you to dismiss this Bill.

A glimpse of my pocket front garden which was awarded a certificate of merit in the Chch Beautifying Assn Spring garden competition - ka poho kererū
View of spring flowers in a small cottage garden: white, pink and red cyclamen, soft pink tulip, clusters of orange flowers on a geum and red and pink daisies
