1. (Australia) An item in a bulleted list.

   Synonym: bullet point

   • 2010, Mark Tredinnick, Geoff Whyte, The Little Black Book of Business Writing, page 159:

     Dot points work well when

     • each dot is a short phrase or clause (like this)
     • each one runs no longer than this (try to keep each point from run-
       ning over a line, like this)

     […]

     But different rules apply when each dot point is a sentence or a paragraph—when, in other words, it stands on its own grammatically.

   • 2021, “Lists”, in Australian Government Style Manual‎^[1], archived from the original on 2021-09-21:

     The digital edition advises against using ‘and’ or ‘or’ at the end of dot points in lists. The sixth edition allowed ‘or’ at the end of a list item, though recommended avoiding this if possible.
