Senator Evans, I did in some detail, I thought, explain that issue. But this may assist further: the advice I have received is that the delegation to bodies corporate adds to the flexibility. We do not expect that the minister would not agree to a reasonable land council decision not to delegate. The ministerial role is a safeguard or, if you like, a safety valve. It ensures that a land council does not act unreasonably to decide not to delegate to regional groups.

Question agreed to.
