I thank the minister for her answer. I remain concerned that the principal motivation for this is so that the government can override and not have to bother with the full process of consultation with communities. Is the minister or her government able to outline how this process will work if, in developing an ILUA, there is seen to be too long a delay? Has there been a time frame put in place for consulting communities and at what point will the government say, ‘Time’s up. We’ll make the decisions from here’?
