This is very important, given some of the comments that have been made and the vulnerability of the many people around the country whom I have met.

They believe they are going to be abandoned because of some of the things that are being said, which are misleading, about their communities. What I am saying is that the NTA will consult local communities, as it has in the past, in order to ensure their requirements will be considered and met, as far as is possible, in situations such as this. It will be consistent in that regard.
