If accurate, this is farcical. & inconsistent with the basics of good legislative practice, making it crystal clear the Bill isn't a good faith attempt to improve such. Insincere & undemocratic. & adds to a lack of legitimacy making it v easy for the next govt to justify repealing immediately.
The public will get just 30 hours to voice their views on the Regulatory Standards Bill, a fraction of the time given to other major legislation.

NZ Govt debt costs are spiralling back to the 1990s - we must punish the poor, stop building the stuff we need, suppress the pay of care workers and ECE staff, and dance to Haddaway.
