The whole rushed process makes no sense at all, and it made no sense to many of the submitters. On the one hand, why try to create optically the illusion of some sort of public consultation, given the net result is a one-week delay and the same outcome as if you'd just driven the whole thing from bill to law under urgency in one session. Likewise, the dates in February and May that the Government uses to justify the truncated process could easily have been changed by the bill so that process consultation could occur.
