One of the things that I think we've heard in every testimony is about the consultation process, and what real consultation looks like.
Susanna Fuller, from the Ecology Action Centre, testified that seven years is too long. You would do a consultation and it would sit on someone's desk, and then whenever the MPA was going to be designated, the people would have changed. They wouldn't think that they had been consulted, but they had, so shutting it to a lesser time would be advantageous. Then there are people who feel that the consultation process isn't happening at all.
I'm wondering how we find that balance. How do you define what meaningful consultation is?
