I might be going on a bit of a tangent but I in a bit of a panic because there's currently 3 bills up for select committee submissions with the word regulatory in the title Am I being paranoid? Or ought I be alarmed that the anti human rights agenda is trying to sneak pro already wealthy & sorted laws into effect? Please help interprete the legal lingo, & if it really is dangerous I hope you have the time & energy to publicise this nefarious activity as widely as possible. Thanks Mel keep up the good work, while taking a moment to reconnect with nature etc.

Hi Geoffrey, thanks for the question. I've had a look and as far as I can see they are fairly routine amendment bills. Regulatory in their name usually denotes a particular type of bill making minor changes, but of course not the Regulatory Standards Bill!!! Thanks for picking up on them. I'm not an expert on their content so I'm not able to confirm for sure that they're minor, but they are meant to be! You could check out Hansard on them to see what opposition parties were saying.
