It would be useful to know what are the origins of this. The Minister can correct me if I am reading this incorrectly. Is it that the planning review is being undertaken now and that some things are coming out of it that the Minister is already advancing into legislation, this is one of those things and we can expect more of them before the planning review is completed? Do I have that totally wrong? If so, the Minister might explain that again and explain from where the idea behind this came and what are its origins. Am I to take it from his comments that we should expect more provisions such as this in legislation in the coming year before the planning review is completed? What is the process that is happening here? It would be useful to understand that.
