The Regulatory Standards Bill is by far the most dangerous bill in our lifetimes because it is underpinned by racist and fascist ideology.

Submissions for a Snap Election – How the Regulatory Standards Bill Could Crack the Coalition
– Tina Ngata

"Today David Seymour ascends to Deputy Prime Minister in the second half of a term of government that has done more damage to race relations in this country than any other in living history. But it’s not just Māori who are under fire from the seemingly never-ending obsession to serve corporations instead of the people. It’s everyone who isn’t wealthy."

"The [ACT party's] Regulatory Standards Bill threatens to upend the entire framework under which Māori have been able to challenge corporate infringement of Indigenous rights here in Aotearoa.

Indeed, given the bill’s broadly defined principles, which serve as the ideological measuring stick against which all legislation must conform, there is the real possibility that its passage could open the door to corporations suing the government for regulations that protect Indigenous rights.

Even more perversely, Māori groups may be required to reimburse corporations for any loss to their profits that results from government regulation that protects the environment and Indigenous land claims."
