MRS NOLAN: Forget the route number bit; that was at the end. The question was: Do you think it appropriate and responsible for schoolchildren to be returned to a school with a school bus driver refusing to drive them home on the normal school run?

Could the Minister advise the Assembly of the current status and use of Sylvia Curley House? What plans are there in the future for the use of that facility? Do those plans include housing for students?

MR SPEAKER: Order! Dr Kinloch, you do not have the floor, unless it is a point of order.
Dr Kinloch: In literal fact, this is a curly question.
MR BERRY: There are no planned changes in the foreseeable future to Sylvia Curley House. The building is presently being used for nurse and student accommodation. In addition, the ACT Board of Health's Community Health Services and the Health Advancement Library occupy the ground floor. The future of Sylvia Curley House, Dr Kinloch will be happy to know, will be considered along with the long-term overall future of the Acton Peninsula. In accordance with the usual practice of the Labor Party, we will make sure that everybody who wants to have a say in the process of that development will be aware of what is going on. They will have the opportunity to participate in the process.
