OMG the doublethink is strong with this lot..."The Act Party will create a Ministry for Regulation if elected as part of a National-led Government, to enforce rules limiting wasteful Government spending on unnecessary red tape."#AdamPearse, 2023https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/act-conference-david-seymour-promises-to-create-new-ministry-for-regulation-if-elected/RVM7WAMUVVFMDOYLLECFJCRNXY/

@smollestbunny> Deregulation guy wants regulation?Exactly. This proposal is self-contradictory in every conceivable way. Firstly, this vanity Ministry would replicate one of the roles of the Te Kawa Mataaho (Public Service Commission), so it's totally unnecessary. Secondly, as we've seen recently, setting up new government entities costs way more than maintaining existing ones. Thirdly, funding an entire Ministry for this one, fairly simple task would be a huge waste of "taxpayer" money.

@smollestbunnyIf we needed any more evidence that ACT are out to lunch, and totally unfit to be part of a functional government, this policy is the smoking gun pointed at their own head. It's like something out of Blazing Saddles crossed with Red Dwarf;"Don't come any closer, or the hologram gets it!"
