Too real. American libertarians did a really good job of exporting that co-opted meaning worldwide too. But tbf there were way too many AoNZers waiting, ready, and happy to jump on the bandwagon. Now they won’t stfu about how legislating indigenous protections means we live in apartheid actually.

And they’re proud of it too!

Thank you for sharing this!

(20) UPDATE: I’ve been informed that for the RSB, the best thing to do is to go for the second option, which is writing your own submission & emailing it to them. You can explain in it your grievances with the leading questions in the other forms.

(16) Thank you for reading. Please, please remember to submit. It doesn’t have to be an essay - it just has to come from the heart. Don’t cuss, don’t explicitly insult people, and don’t use AI. Ngā mihi nui.

(15) I’ll add any updates or more info to this thread as they come. They’re all incredibly important. I just spent longer on RSB bc I haven’t seen any social media discussion of this absolute shamble of a submissions page and I didn’t want it to fall through the cracks.
January 1, 2025 at 12:02 AM
(14) Bill 3: Just one more thing about this Bill. The page says it closes 13 Jan (no specific time given) but other sources say 8 Jan. To be on the safe side and not miss this deadline, try to do this one as early as possible.
January 1, 2025 at 12:02 AM
(13) Bill 3c: So please be careful with this one, pay close attention to the details of the questions and don’t fall for it bc the whole submission is full of pitfalls and traps like this. It’s somehow still better than the “discussion document” (3a) though
January 1, 2025 at 12:02 AM
(12) Bill 3c: It forces you to have to either agree with a false statement or say you’re against something good (“good regulatory stewardship”? Anti-reg ppl don’t say they’re pro bad regulatory stewardship. They just think good regulatory stewardship is NO regulatory stewardship)
January 1, 2025 at 12:02 AM
(11) Bill 3c: - and this is the submissions page that is supposed to be the place to contest those statements. The fact that it’s framed as a “yes/no” without a place to state your views or contest the question is also purposeful.
January 1, 2025 at 12:02 AM
(10) Bill 3c: Take for example this screenshot of Question 14. The premise of the question is false. It operates on the assumption that this Bill is “focusing on rights and liberties”, “good law-making processes,” and “good regulatory stewardship” when none of that is true -
January 1, 2025 at 12:02 AM
(9) Bill 3c: third way is the actual submissions page. I’ve looked through this & have noticed the questions are very leading and manipulative. They’re framed in a super calculated way. More on this below:

(8) Bill 3b: Second avenue is to a submission and email it to RSBconsultation@regulation.govt.nz

Or post it to

(7) Bill 3a: first is a “discussion document” written by Seymour where there are 8 pages of narrative distortion before the first questions, and questions are interspersed between text after text of Seymour’s crafted primers. I’m not linking this one but you can find it on the main page
January 1, 2025 at 12:02 AM
(6) Bill 3: The Regulatory Standards Bill. The way they’ve presented this is very tricky and darksided (purposefully imo) so I’ll spend some time on this one. There seem to be 3 different avenues for submission:

(5) Bill 2: Oranga Tamariki (Responding to Serious Youth Offending) Amendment Bill aka The Military-Style Bootcamp Bill. The deadline is 11.59pm on Thursday, 09 January.
