There's concerns and fears among some that the Regulatory Standards Bill sidelines te Tiriti o Waitangi. 

The ACT Party bill aims to reduce regulation, claiming it'll create standards for 'good legislation'.

The Waitangi Tribunal is meeting to discuss the legislation's failure to include the Treaty in those standards.   

Ngati Toa CEO Helmut Modlik says ACT pushed it quickly through consultation before introducing it.

"They've been a bit naughty beggars where they've truncated the time-frame - rushing it through so that it can quickly get to the phase where the Tribunal has no jurisdiction."
