Hon EUGENIE SAGE (Green): Thank you, Madam Chair. Speaking to the amendment in the name of Barbara Kuriger, could the Minister confirm that the Environment Committee considered quite carefully this whole issue around what constituted Government policy? One of the reasons that this clause in the bill refers specifically to national environmental standards and policy statements is that the select committee desired that there was a degree of clarity around exactly what national policy the Commissioner of Crown Lands would refer to, and the fact that it was a national environmental standard that had been signed off by Cabinet in the same way that the National Environmental Standards for Freshwater have been would give certainty to the commissioner when he or she was making decisions around discretionary consent and had to bring national policy to bear. What exactly was that Government policy—and the clause was intended to make that clear.
