I remind the Senator that I have to be mindful of individual planning applications and the legal process around them. To try to be helpful to him, perhaps if he was able to document the individual cases to which he referred and tabled a Commencement matter for the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport with the same questions he asked me, we could pool the information to determine whether we could develop some kind of review or something we could put to individual local authorities. Such an approach could bring to our attention how many such cases exist and whether the issue arises in other parts of the country or is an issue across the board. I would be very willing to work with the Senator on this matter if he felt it might be helpful.
