Mr. Paul Hogan:

It is an important clarification within the system that gives status to what is intended to be national policy. The courts have found that current ministerial guidelines have a very low-bar test, that it is a "have regard" test. I know that was the subject of previous information we provided. Given the way things have gone in the system, that has proven to be undermining of the planning process. It means things that should be addressed as a matter of national policy are now less clear and can be picked away at even though the proposal may be acceptable in other respects.
