56428 (2025). Hon Rachel Brooking to the Minister responsible for RMA Reform: Does he agree with the Prime Minister that “If we can get RMA done and replace NCEA they’re big things no other govt has dared do”?

Hon Chris Bishop: Yes. The Government's new RM legislation is more distinct from the RMA than previous frameworks and will be significantly narrower than the RMA.
