ISTR something about the idea of a sunset clause on all legislation passed under urgency, where it had to go through the full cabinet process to be made permanent or it had an end date. Anybody know the pros/cons of this idea? Is this a policy to ask for in the next government? #nzpol

They kept doing this with covid regs passed under urgency. They'd have quite short timeframes before legislation expired. Govt did on purpose so they'd have to keep looking at in detail and consciously take it back to the house. Not sure it's a rule or anything though
