One of the elements I insisted on, in going through this process, was a forum for people with an interest in the issue to make detailed submissions that the consultants must take into account. We ensured this would happen by advertising widely in local and national newspapers to give people the opportunity to make a submission. People are very aware of some of the technical issues and I trust that, given the detailed information they already had, they were able to make their points in a specific and constructive manner.
