Fast Track Approvals Bill: Chris Bishop & Shane Jones Took a Good Idea & Turned it into a Dog's Breakfast.

To deal with the proliferation of regulation & red-tape in NZ, which means you can barely go to the bathroom without getting permission, National's Chris Bishop & NZ First's Shane Jones told us they would "fast track" a bunch of selected projects. Around 384 projects have applied under this process. Of course projects must be completed faster in NZ. We've had enough of detractors like former PM Geoffrey Palmer wanting to bog NZ down in never-ending legal arguments regarding such matters.
