I’m a bit of a thickey I’ll grant you. IT systems or government affairs may hold few terrors for me, but when I see Simon Corbell holding forth about planning issues I know it will be beyond my humble intellect.

But he has excelled himself in a new media release, and even better he’s doing it while promising to simplfy things.

Here’s the first paragraph for a lesson in inpenetrability.

Planning Minister Simon Corbell said the ACT Government has begun work on a simplified, unified planning document for Canberra’s central area and has also acted to remove in most cases the need for preliminary assessments within the City.

This could be a good thing, but how would any of us know?
