PRIORITY BUS LANES

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg) (15:43): You will be glad it is not about Cadell. My question is to the Minister for Transport Services. What formal discussions did the minister have with the Adelaide City Council about bus lane restrictions in the traffic on Grenfell and Currie streets prior to announcing the changes? A freedom of information request lodged by the opposition for all correspondence between the minister (including her staff) and the Adelaide City Council has been refused on the grounds that no documents exist.

The Hon. C.C. FOX (Bright—Minister for Transport Services) (15:43): One does not refuse something that is not there.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. C.C. FOX: The member for Bragg is looking for something which is not there. I cannot invent things for her to look for when they are not there.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Ashford.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Will members on my right behave?

Ms CHAPMAN: I have a supplementary question, Madam Speaker. You had not called any other member.

The SPEAKER: Alright.

The Hon. J.M. Rankine: She did.

Ms CHAPMAN: She did not. Sit down, Jennifer; just calm down, will you?

The SPEAKER: Order! I will allow you some indulgence today.
