MADAM SPEAKER: Mrs Dunne, sit yourself down. Sit yourself down, Mrs Dunne.

Mrs Dunne: I beg your pardon?

MADAM SPEAKER: I asked you to sit yourself down. There is no point of order.

Mrs Dunne: My point of order is that the minister needs to be directly relevant and not debate the issue.

MADAM SPEAKER: Mrs Dunne, the standing orders also state that a minister will be heard in a level of silence. I have not got through many question times when that standing order has been listened to. Minister, you have the floor. There is no point of order.

MR STEEL: The question was not about Anketell Street. If the member had been listening, she would have heard that it was in fact about other improvements that we are making to public transport on the south side. In 2017 we built a new bus stop on Athllon Drive, a new park and ride.

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Coe, you are about to be warned.

Mr Coe interjecting—

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Coe.

MR STEEL: I am very pleased to say that in addition to that the ACT government is continuing work on the planning for a brand-new bus interchange at Woden—something that is incredibly important—to upgrade the five-decade-old bus interchange—
