Minister Reynolds, in your speech concluding the second reading debate you quite rightly pointed out that there are opportunities to review ministerial decisions in the context of this legislation. Can you firstly clarify that those opportunities do not extend to reviews of the merits of the minister's decision? Secondly, can you confirm that they are limited to the making of a TEO and not other aspects of this legislation—for example, varying the provisions of a TEO?
