Sign this petition about the Regulatory Standards Bill, please

petitions.parliament.nz/212f27b2-98f...
Petition request That the House of Representatives urge the Government to withdraw the Regulatory Standards Bill from the legislative programme. Petition reason I am petitioning the House because nearly every submission on the Regulatory Standards Bill opposed it, yet the Government plans to pass it anyway. I believe this shows disregard for public participation and democratic integrity. I think the Government is ignoring the 98.7 percent of submitters who oppose the bill and cannot be trusted to listen. I feel that Parliament must act to restore public trust by urging the Government to withdraw this Bill.

On why the $3bn quote from "independent experts" of National is bullshit.

They've played this game multiple times already - Kiwirail, Kainga Ora, Health NZ.

We now know that the media CANNOT call them out for their lies, so please pass the message on instead.

Many folks on their first protest march today and with good reason.
