Frankly, I don't think this is what the people who voted for you at the last election actually expected or would want from you. And most damningly, it's not just us saying this. It's your own regulatory impact assessment, which is saying—let me quote this: "The short timeframe for developing the policy options and undertaking the impact analysis means there has been minimal consultation on the specific Stage 1 proposals." and "[That] meant that consultation on the proposed Stage 1 legislative changes with the general public, local authorities, and with iwi/hapū, was not possible." So when your own departmental disclosure statement states that the policy details have not been tested or assessed in any way to ensure the bill's provisions are workable and complete, it's not just a principle that's being contravened, it's not just us arguing and defending that; it's your own advice internally telling you that.
