An interim CEO has been appointed to lead the Ministry of Regulation. It's one of a number of roles filled or soon to be filled as a seachange begins in Wellington.
And by "bad law" we of course mean "any law that restricts my ability to monopolise, overuse, extract or otherwise put my own profits ahead of the good of anyone or anything else that is not me personally."
As much as a despise Seymour this is one initiative I am quietly hopeful will sort out a lot of issues affecting NZ as a whole. In my industry at least regulations get made that are determined within AU/NZ standards that are never up to date, requires someone (in some cases exclusively appointed by that administration) who can charge what they like and take as long as they like to sign off or are all encompassing and leave fringe developing sectors unable to confirm, in some cases stopping them even starting. Administrators are caught by having to abide by the law while knowing all the time that productivity and competitiveness grinds itself ever lower and lower as a consequence. The public really do not understand how much of this goes on, affecting small businesses around the country and there has been nowhere to bring it to anyone's attention. Im ready to start writing letters as soon as this gets off the ground. If this gives us someone who can shine a light on these problems, that's a start.
Ideally I agree, that's the sort of thing that really does need sorting out. But Seymour is not that man, however. He's a card-carrying libertarian for whom *any* regulation that slows down profits is a bad regulation.
Pretty sure Winston insisted on being Deputy PM first so that come election time he can distance himself from "the govt" more than he could otherwise. 🤷 On the other hand, Luxon/Nats will be running with Seymour at the top of their govt & madly trying to defuse all the time bombs & toxic waste sites (actual & metaphorical?) that Seymour/Act have developed by then...😡 Hoping the damage is not irretrievable and it is a short-term reign 🤷

Totally. Once he hands over to Seymour he will be off the chain, and it'll be 110% the Winston show.
