I would suggest that the Member re-reads the blog, and reads beyond the first paragraphs, to see what I was trying to say. What I was trying to say was that we need a slightly more mature relationship between the various tiers of local government and to try to move away from the kind of discussion that we have had over the past few years.

I saw that you were reading your second question. It might have been easier had you listened to the answer to your first question, because I stated clearly there that I didn't put my predecessor's proposals to one side. That was done by local government and, because of that, I have to reconsider the local government stance on this. Having had time to consider the way forward, I will bring a statement to the Assembly.
