No, I think in most cases, it will work against the applicants—not all the time, but most of the time. The reason is that if someone is going to prove a case, to do that within such an accelerated timeframe is unreasonable. I believe you're a lawyer by background. To expect somebody to present a full case with documentary evidence under less than ideal conditions, possibly with expert evidence, is unrealistic within that timeframe.
An unproven claim without documentary evidence is going to weigh against the applicant. I don't know the numbers for New Zealand, but I would expect that their system is probably processing a lot fewer people than ours, even on a per capita basis. I think the board can move a lot faster than they are right now, but there's no justification for the crazy acceleration of time that we're seeing in the bill.
