"Scumlord"

Rules are always draconian/ridiculous/[insert adjective of choice] to those that don't agree with them... hence, entitlement.

There are those who don't know the industry/business [insert word of choice] who disagree for no good reason, and there are those who do know the industry/business who make submissions to tell the government what is wrong with its plans and why they are bad/won't work. The government goes ahead anyway (because most of them don't understand the industry) and the people affected tend to continue to disagree, especially when the results they forewarned come about.

that's kind of irrelevant really, even if the forewarned issues do occur - you've simply done your civic duty by making submissions and can feel good about that.  But it does not entitle anyone to disregard the rule of law as it is then set in legislation, simply because they disagree(d).
