Let put in single syllables, until you have an emergency, you are not empowered to break the rules.

Let me put it this way, you arrive at Perth with 2800 kg in your tanks, Kalgoolie is 2000 kg away, so therefore you are committed to a landing at Perth, so you can now bust the minima at Perth (assuming last minute bad wx) because you are committed to a landing there. Do you see the logic? If you injure a passenger by busting the minima, unless you can justify your decision, you would be liable. It ain't rocket science!
