Primary Recommendation: Reject the Bill Entirely
The fundamental flaws in the Bill's approach cannot be resolved through amendments, as the underlying principles framework creates irreconcilable tensions with democratic governance, environmental protection, and social equity.

Watching Return of the King: The Fall and Rise of Elvis Presley.
He was old persons’ music when I was young…
This quote, not from Elvis but from chronicler of his fame about his risky comeback in 1968, stands for the ages.

I’ve decided to keep mine up until Te Tiriti is fully honoured - so could be while 😢. And yes despite my initial doubts no one has touched it here either. Yay neighbours! Maybe this country has reached a tipping point of sorts?

Meeting @wardruna.bsky.social with my son. Amazing to hear Einar Selvik’s experience meeting with Tangata Whenua in Te Wai Pounamu in 2000 was in part a catalyst for his cultural journey that led to Wardruna. Such awesome people to meet.

Completed my submission opposing the proposed Regulatory Standards Bill. Painful but glad I understand and can argue against the full lunacy proposed. I've never submitted as many submissions to anyone in my life than over the last 12 months!
