I think we need to lower peoples expectations on public consultations. In general it doesn't work. A public consultation shouldn't be thought of as the publics opportunity to kill what is required. It is an opportunity to validate the assumptions made in crafting whatever it was.
Be it pipelines, bus lanes or OHS bills.
