ACT leader David Seymour has claimed 99.5 percent of the submissions received on the Regulatory Standards Bill were created using 'bots'.
The Ministry for Regulation received approximately 23,000 submissions regarding a discussion document about the bill in January, with submissions on the bill currently open until June 23.
Dr David Wilson, Clerk of the House of Representatives, says he's confident the cyber-security team involved haven't reported any bots making submissions to Parliament.
