MR STEEL: I thank Ms Lawder for her supplementary. It is great to see Canberrans reporting more instances of littering around Canberra. They are using our online system through fix my street and they are finding that a satisfactory and useful place to report that.
It has also come at a time when the government has had a greater focus on cracking down on illegal dumping and littering in our community, with stronger litter laws being debated today and our compliance team out on the beat using CCTV to capture people in the act and issuing them with infringement notices. This is something that the government is focusing on. People will continue to be able to report this online through fix my street.
MS LE COUTEUR: Minister, I have fix my street open now, and it is not there. Can you please update your system so that it does what you say it is going to do? We are not both making it up. It is simply not there.
MR STEEL: Anyone can report illegal dumping on fix my street. They simply have to report the incidents of illegal dumping by typing it into the system.
Members interjecting—
MADAM SPEAKER: Members!
MR STEEL: There is a form there that is clearly available.
Ms Lawder: How do I report it when it’s not on there?
MADAM SPEAKER: Ms Lawder!
Mr Coe: A hint of honesty wouldn’t go astray.
Mr Gentleman: A point of order, Madam Speaker. The minister is trying to answer the question but there are so many interjections that he cannot be heard.
Members interjecting—
MADAM SPEAKER: Members, there is no need for descriptors or interjections. The minister has the floor to respond to Ms Le Couteur’s question.
Mr Ramsay: A point of order, Madam Speaker. The Leader of the Opposition in his interjection said that a hint of honesty would not go astray, which I believe clearly reflects on the character of the minister, and I would suggest that he should withdraw that.
Mr Hanson interjecting—
MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Hanson, no more, or you will be warned. Mr Coe, I did not hear it, but if there is any reflection on his honesty, I think you should withdraw it.
