My advice is that if there is further new evidence that is provided later in the process then obviously you have to reassess that at that time. But the AAT appeal is obviously in respect to a specific decision that was made on the basis of specific information at that point in time. My answer to the question from the senator representing the Nick Xenophon Team stands as accurate, but obviously you cannot award costs in relation to something that is not part of the scope of the AAT process in question.
