DAVID SEYMOUR (Member in charge of the Regulatory Standards Bill): First of all, I want to congratulate the member on recently having his bill drawn, which would also mean a lot for rural New Zealand. But in terms of what this legislation would mean, it would mean that a numerical minority of New Zealand and yet an economic powerhouse—some would say the backbone of the New Zealand economy, rural New Zealand—have the ability to stand up to regulators, that often fail to understand the impacts of laws and regulations on their particular sector. For example, those farmers in Southland have recently had laws and regulations visited upon them, requiring them to plant their crops too early.
