This is now a law. It became law in April of this year, so it's just become law. We passed the bill. It received royal assent last year, became an act last year. It's now been passed into law, so it's become law in this last week or so. It is now a framework. Very simply, it is about our long-term development path, about how we, as a nation, want to develop. It sets out our long-term development path—a set of goals, a set of measures against those goals, a requirement on government to set milestones of progress. It's tied into the electoral cycle, so obviously, it links back to the democratic process. It can't be dictatorial; it links back absolutely to the democratic process.
But our experience with the political parties in introducing this act into law has been...as one of the opposition parties said, “You know, we're not disagreeing about where we want to get to in the long term, but we are disagreeing about how we get there”. That's what politics is about.
The legislation, if you like, sets out our long-term development path. There will be a lot of debate and discussion politically about how we get there and what the best mechanism is for achieving progress, making progress against those milestones. But what we've tried to do is set out a basis for consensus on what we want to try to achieve as a nation, set some clear measures in place, and set some clarity about how we get there, such as the principles of involving communities in decision-making.
