One good piece of news which the Lamestream media ignored was the repeal this month of the Labour regime’s Therapeutic Products Act. But good news comes with alarming news — the just introduced Gene Technology Bill.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment has produced an overview of the Bill, which is available online.

Supporters of the Bill argue that it is essential for keeping New Zealand at the forefront of technological innovation, enabling access to emerging scientific tools while maintaining rigorous safety standards. However, critics express concerns over potential risks to the environment, cultural values, and trade relations, making public input crucial to shaping this legislation.

New Zealanders are encouraged to have their say and help guide the development of this potentially harmful policy. Submissions can be made online here.

Submissions close at 11:59 pm on Monday, 17 February 2025.
