Yes. There is little doubt that how the Government responded in respect of properties that were ruined by mica in turn framed the response it had to make with regard to dealing with apartments that were affected by defects. When you make a decision in one area, it frames decisions that you may make in the same area in the future. That is why then when the Government gets into issues relating to the eligibility for public services or eligibility to access public money, we have to be so careful in ensuring that we understand the consequences of decisions that are made, and how that could play out across all of Government.
