[Merv and Sharon]

True, but a key issue is how the next applicant is treated, and the next and, so on. There are appointed state and national review bodies currently examining claims of double management of applications in all fields including health, education and transport and the policy of 'mutual recognition' is a key criterion. That is, if one appointed body approves something, then another should not re-start the process. If I were the RTA in NSW inspectors I would be trying to justify my existence - which it seems they may be doing.
