What’s all the fuss about the bill to regulate regulations? It's been overshadowed by another piece of Act Party legislation, but the Regulatory Standards Bill has some critics equally concerned.

It's a shame we didn't have more coverage like this earlier on, but we will be getting another crack at this one.

Deadline is looming.

Regulatory Standards Bill slammed as 'dangerous' call for 'alarm bells' But proponents of the proposal say it is about better regulation and more transparent lawmaking.

Haere mai. The water's warm.

Yeah, it could be a nice way to honour Monte but others might prefer not. I'm not sure.

@patbrittenden.bsky.social you successfully got @chrishipkins.bsky.social here. What about Chloe and the Green Party?

As @chewienz.bsky.social so accurately and frequently points out, this is an example of a decision based on the fundamental philosophy of "Labour bad".

Love it when people talk about what they're going to talk about. Perhaps that's the real meaning of "what I will say to you is..."

#BHN The government's $42 million announce into getting new Doctors has some HUGE fish hooks. The money is not new, so it's coming from somewhere else, and it fixes three percent of the Doctor shortage that NZ is facing
