The view that was put to us by the Labor government of the Northern Territory and the land councils was that a rental cap on township leases will impede the implementation of the township leasing scheme. We have listened to their views. There has been a lot of urging for this government to consult and to listen to people. This is an area where the advice I have, Senator Evans, is that the land councils themselves put a view, as I said, that the rental cap would be an impediment. The government has listened to their views and is therefore moving these requests.
