The member for Chifley.

I believe they will do the things they should do—that is, make a decision in the best interests of Western Sydney and our economy and do the things that need to be done and take into account the real concerns of many community groups. We can do both.

Mr Husic interjecting—

The member for Chifley.

We can build this airport, we can take into account their considerations, but we can not do it if we have the politics of cynicism and negativity, if we continue this 30-year game of ping-pong that gets played between governments.

Mr Husic interjecting—

The member for Chifley will remove himself from the chamber under standing order 187.

Mr Husic interjecting—

That word is not parliamentary word and you will leave the chamber under standing order 187.

The member for Chifley then left the chamber.

This government and this Prime Minister are doing the right thing by consulting with government colleagues, they are doing the right thing by consulting with the western Sydney community, and I fully support the Prime Minister and the government.
