government has also completed 25 heating, ventilation and air conditioning audits over the past three years, helping to identify future opportunities for improvements.

Transport Canberra—network 19 complaints
MRS JONES: My question is to the Minister for Transport and Minister for City Services. Minister, how many complaints have you received via Transport Canberra’s official social media channels about network 19?
MR STEEL: I thank the member for her question. I am happy to come back on notice, given the level of detail that she is after.
MRS JONES: How many of those complaints have been responded to?
MR STEEL: I thank the member for her question. I am happy to come back on notice in relation to that. Obviously, with social media it is often difficult to respond to everyone, and specifically to understand whether they are in fact the person that they purport to be on social media. I am happy to come back to you specifically in relation to the policy of how TCCS responds to people, when they are engaging on a social media platform in particular.
MISS C BURCH: Minister, how many people work in that social media team and have they been provided with training and support to deal with abuse and harassment?
MR STEEL: I thank the member for her question. I am happy to come back on notice in relation to that.
Transport Canberra—weekend bus services
MS LAWDER: My question is to the Minister for Transport. Minister, how many bus drivers are rostered to work on this weekend’s bus services?
MR STEEL: I thank the member for her question. As I have explained many times in this place, we continue to make sure that we roster drivers to deliver as many services as we can, right up until the day of the bus service being delivered, because we want to provide as many services as we can to Canberrans on the weekend.
I outlined this week, when I tabled the action plan to improve reliability of weekend services, 10 actions that we will be taking to improve weekend reliability. That will include the use of standby drivers on the weekend particularly to take over shifts where there has been an unexpected loss of one of the drivers so that we cannot deliver that shift. We will be looking at continuous recruitment of bus drivers to deliver more services on the weekend as well as a range of other actions that we will be taking to improve reliability.
MS LAWDER: Minister, how many bus drivers are required to meet this weekend’s scheduled services and, as of today, how many bus drivers do you have rostered on?
