Fair enough. But I like that they have kept Māori grammar rules with the adjective following the noun

Shingle vaccine is free during the 365 days when you are 65 - so lucky me - but make it make sense!

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.

You can fill out an online form (not recommended as it asks annoying questions). Instead, email your submission to RSBconsultation@regulation.govt.nz
