The Regulation Minister says a small number of groups have hijacked the public submission process.

ACT's Regulatory Standards Bill has passed its third reading at Parliament.

The policy, which provides principles for lawmaking, received 156-thousand public submissions – 98% of those opposed.

David Seymour told Mike Hosking there have been more select committee submissions in the past two years than in the history of Parliament.

He says organisations like Greenpeace spread mistruths and automate submissions for people.
