I appreciate that but there could be a change of Government when this is done. There could be Ministers who do not put importance on these issues. Having it in the legislation would ensure that no matter whether there is a change of Government or not these issues around biodiversity loss, status of protected sites, air quality, water quality, well-being and human health and so forth would have to be considered in terms of reviews of the national planning frameworks.
