Transcript
Thank you. Minister, I have a very short piece to say here, and that is that the amendments that we have put down collectively, myself, Senator Keoghan and Senator Boyan, have been requested by the AILG, which is a cross-party group. They involve all parties and none. And, you know, I have to bow to their knowledge. They're the people on the ground. They're the people who have to oversee planning within their areas. I accept your bona fides and I do understand the difficulties you have in some areas in getting planning through. But I do find it deeply disturbing that amendments being brought forward by the people on the ground, through their representatives in this House, are rejected. I'll leave it at that. There's nothing more I can say, really.
