If the duration of Police's internal sign-off process is part of the reason for this unlawful delay, then surely Police has a legal obligation to treat...
I wonder what consultations the minister has identified as being necessary, and why they couldn't be completed before the initial timeframe.

Temporary additional support
Awaiting classification.
It's a shame MSD decided to print and then scan this document instead of releasing it in its original format.
Though they do appear to have at least...
