Dr Guy Hatchard: A Week in Politics That Stole Our Rights and Changed Our Nation Forever
Labels: Deregulation of biotechnology, Dr Guy HatchardThis week, Judith Collins, Minister for Science and Technology, and Chris Luxon, Prime Minister, decided to introduce a policy change with a Laurel and Hardy double act on Twitter full of bonhomie and laughter designed to mask a sinister intent. Deregulation of biotechnology will contain provisions that take away our basic human rights of choice. They will change the face of our small island nation forever (yes, forever).
According to their vaudeville performance, biotech deregulation will enable amazing scientists to mitigate climate change, improve our health, boost our horticulture, and grow our economy. Collins effused “it is so great to be part of this government”. Luxon agreed, calling it “an amazing day”. As he sees it, some laws formulated in 1996 to protect consumers make no sense in 2024 because they prevent incredibly smart biotech scientists from releasing their products into the environment without having to go through public scrutiny.
