+  % Discuss the following statement:
+  %
+  %   Councils often do not have the inclination to challenge an AEE,
+  %   particularly if the development may bring benefits to the region. It
+  %   therefore often falls to individuals or public interest groups to
+  %   the thorn and challenge. \parencite[][pp. 110-111]{grinlinton}
+  %
+  % Your essay should consider the requirements for consultation in
+  % preparing assessments of environmental effects (AEEs) under the RMA,
+  % evidence supporting or refuting Grinlinton's statement and arrive at a
+  % conclusion on whether you agree or disagree with the statement based
+  % on the evidence you have identified.
+  %
+  % Illustrate your essay with practical examples. Use the maaterial you
+  % have collected in your clippings file of current environmental issues
+  % for this.
+
+  - Consultation is not mandatory under the RMA, but is encouraged
+  - results from consultation / mediation process are not binding
+  - the majority of applications is not publicly notified (council survey)
+  - there is a history of underestimating the size of the group of `directly affected' people
+  
+
+  - government wants to shift power from the local councils to national entity, at the expense of community consultation
