I just received the following reply to the email I sent to Lee Webb this morning asking if the report had left the DAC office yet.

Reply:

One word – “dunno”.

"As with all matters that we put to the Minister – all I can advise is that it has left my office and is being progressed up the ‘chain of command’ to the Minister’s office.

I never know how long it can take, but do know that this matter is a priority for the Planning Minister (and the Mining Minister."

So, at least it sounds as though it's finished and on its way to resolution. The optimist in me says, 'We're nearly there.'
