Written reports will be included not only as part of the meeting binder, but will be recorded as part of the minutes. If you are a regional rep, this means that your electorate can see evidence of what you’ve delivered to the LNC. If you give a verbal report, they will not. Also, reports submitted to Robert by the deadline are already in the binder, and do not require any “paperwork check”. If there are lots of reports delivered at the LNC meeting, this agenda item takes longer.
