Just did a quick search around Hawkes Bay disaster:

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/485...d-recovery

Seems Act wants to push for quicker recovery in the area.

"These include making it easier to access finance with a wider exemption from the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act and passing special legislation to remove RMA barriers to rebuilding and repairing.

Act also wants it easier for migrants to get visas if they are seeking work in the zone, a Materials Equivalence Register, a regional exemption from Fair Pay Agreements, streamlined foreign investment and introducing private insurance as an alternative to council consenting processes."

That piece reads like them using the situation as a vehicle to push through their policies using the event to their own advantage, or maybe I just have a suspicious attitude regarding 'gift horses'.
