New Zealand's Regulatory Standards Bill passes first reading, facing criticism for potentially favoring corporate interests.
New Zealand's Regulatory Standards Bill passed its first reading in Parliament, aiming to improve productivity and regulatory quality.
The bill, proposed by Regulation Minister David Seymour, seeks to establish a benchmark for good legislation and create a Regulatory Standards Board.
Critics, including environmental groups and opposition parties, argue the bill prioritizes corporate interests over environmental protections and community wellbeing, and could breach the Treaty of Waitangi.
Over 20,000 submissions were received, with the majority opposing the bill.
