Labour will repeal the Government’s Regulatory Standards Bill in its first 100 days in office.
“The Regulatory Standards Bill puts corporate interests ahead of what’s best for the public. It puts everything from our health to clean water and food safety at risk,” Labour regulation spokesperson Duncan Webb said.
“Once again, Christopher Luxon has shown he is out of touch, and too weak to stand up to David Seymour. He has let his coalition partners dictate how laws are made in New Zealand.
“Laws that keep people healthy and safe – like requiring landlords to heat homes – will be left to the whims of whether the government of the day thinks they are a good idea or not.
“This Bill has no place in New Zealand, and a future Labour Government will repeal it.
“The public is overwhelmingly opposed to this Bill with less than one percent of the submissions during select committee supporting it. But Christopher Luxon is so out of touch he has failed to stop it.
“Labour will repeal the Regulatory Standards Bill in our first 100 days and put people first again,” Duncan Webb said.
