[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz [S] 6 points 2 months ago (2 children) on the face of it it sounds reasonable, but coming from the current ACT i'm not sure how to take it permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dave@lemmy.nz 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 child) It's intended to be racist. It's off the back of the Act stuff about immigrants taking too much and stripping areas bare, but we already have other tools to deal with this other than a blanket 10 limit on any kind of shellfish. You can tell it's intended to be racist because Act are the party of no government interference. They want no regulations and last election literally campaigned (publicly but quietly) on removing any and all building regulations. Any time they propose adding to regulation you know the intent is to attack a specific group of non-white (or non-cis male) people. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz [S] 4 points 2 months ago ah yes, I forgot about that. permalink fedilink source parent
