MS BURCH: Yes, I know, but sometimes I cannot hear you, Madam Speaker.

MADAM SPEAKER: I do not think you failed to hear me then. I do not think you fail to see me put up my hand to indicate that you should sit down. On the point of order, Mr Hanson.

Mr Hanson: Madam Speaker, it is about relevance. The question is very direct: what is the association between the Labor Clubs and ACT Labor? You have ruled it in order. Talking about where people go to dinner is not relevant and I would ask the minister to come to the point and explain what that association is, and it is not making a judgement on it; it is the explanation of that association.

MADAM SPEAKER: I uphold the point of order. I ask the minister to be directly relevant.

MS BURCH: I have answered the question, Madam Speaker.

MADAM SPEAKER: Supplementary question, Mr Doszpot.

MR DOSZPOT: Minister, have you ever declared a conflict of interest regarding gaming machine policy?

MS BURCH: I have not declared it because I do not believe there is one.

Planning—proposed Civic stadium

MR SMYTH: My question is to Minister Barr as Minister for Economic Development. Minister, what is the current status of the government’s plans for a stadium in Civic?

MR BARR: They are being progressed as part of the city to the lake and city plan projects.

MADAM SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Mr Smyth.

MR SMYTH: Minister, how much has the government spent on this initiative to date, what reports have been commissioned, and will you table those reports?

MR BARR: Very little, no and no.

MADAM SPEAKER: Supplementary question, Mr Doszpot.

MR DOSZPOT: Minister, how many trips have you and officers from your directorate taken, where, and how much did this cost?

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Doszpot, can I ask you to rephrase that question to be relevant to the previous question.
