Some interesting parts that caught my eye:
- If the hearings are a good indicator of overall submissions, most submitters oppose this bill.
- Most of us can generally agree that the principles laid out in the Treaty principles bill do not accurately reflect what was written in the Treaty or te Tiriti, or the likely intention of those signing it.
- Just because it’s your bill, doesn’t mean you have to show up – Act Party Justice Committee members were no-shows for most of the subcommittee hearings into the Treaty principles bill.
- Being on the conservative side of politics doesn’t necessarily mean this bill will appeal to you, as displayed by submissions in opposition from Chris Finlayson and Dame Jenny Shipley.
- Media interest in these things can wane pretty quickly. On the first day of hearings, essentially every media outlet was in Room 3. In the final week, only Whakaata Māori and The Spinoff remained.
That’s weird. The first one works just fine for me.
The first paragraph on that page says
“The coalition Government has agreed to pass a Regulatory Standards Bill, proposed by the ACT Party, which will further tilt the political playing field to advantage vested interests.”
So yea it’s a done deal even though it’s not even though the draft hasn’t been submitted. They used the treaty bill as a distraction to push this one through. Well planned and executed by David Seymour. He knows how to play this game.
Ah ok, that sucks. Maybe with some luck it will get diluted through the select committee process.
The site has this message for me:

I assumed ad blocker was the issue but maybe it’s something else. There are half a dozen potential reasons and I’m kinda sick of Stuff’s shit 🤷
Edit: I discovered I can just use the reader mode in firefox and it shows me the article.
The only way it will get diluted is if the press puts it out front and the public get outraged.
So what I am saying is slim chance of that happening.
