I have one more quick question before I go to Senator Boyhan. It is on section 133, which deals with extensions. There was a test previously whereby an applicant had to have commenced works, which is somewhere else in this draft Bill as far as I know. Under section 133, the substantial works test does not seem to be there. Is that covered somewhere else in the draft Bill? I have seen something and I am wondering what constitutes substantial works, what is the test and why it is not there.
