    Regulatory Standards Bill: 30 hours allocated for public submissions on Act Party leader's bill [RNZ, 25 June 2025]
    "Let's be honest, most of these people who have submitted have gone and clicked on a series of false statements put out by the likes of Greenpeace, and that's all they've done," Seymour said.

    In response, Greenpeace spokesperson Gen Toop said Seymour comments were a "pathetic attempt" to "delegitimise" opposition to the bill.

    "Seymour has gone from calling people bots to smearing academics, and now he's trying to sideline people who have turned to trusted civil society organisations like Greenpeace to assist them in having their voices heard," Toop said.

    Toop said it was a "travesty" that there would only be 30 hours for people to be heard by the Select Committee and the bill would insert "far-right ideology" into the law making process.

    Labour’s Duncan Webb said the bill had so far been “rejected every time” and Seymour did not want the bill to go through a full process.

    “He wants to slip it through under the radar. It’s ridiculous. He’s got a truncated select committee process. It should be heard fully. There are thousands of people who want to be heard,” Webb said.

    “I like to think we live in a democracy where we give as many people as much voice as we can.”

    Careful RNZ – Seymour won't want to 'bother' himself with the (~131,000?) submissions on ACT's Regulatory Standards Bill. And why would he, when he could just read this instead.
