If that is right and you have taken the definitions of the nature and extent of the application and effectively outsourced those to the department by giving them the opportunity or the wherewithal to issue appropriate policy guidance, doesn't that go a long way to explaining the concerns of the ESOs in relation to this matter, if indeed clarity and the nature and extent of the application of the decision is actually being taken out of the legislation and being put into the hands of the department to determine?
