After two years and nine months, this Labor government, led by Prime Minister Albanese, has totally failed on infrastructure in New South Wales, particularly in south-western Sydney. Western Sydney airport is opening next year. It is to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It's to service the whole new city of Bradfield. It's supposed to be supported by an aerotropolis of 100,000 jobs and 10,000 homes. Instead, the Ingleburn Business Chamber and Campbelltown City Council are left doing the advocacy for south-western Sydney. It is now time that Campbelltown be prioritised. It needs a north-south rail link which will open from St Marys to the aerotropolis via Western Sydney airport. It needs rapid bus services linking Liverpool, Penrith and Campbelltown with the aerotropolis by the opening of the airport.

Where has the federal minister for infrastructure been on this? She has been nowhere. Has she even been out to Campbelltown? Has she been out there and even started to consider delivering on some of the priorities that the former federal government and the former state coalition government put into place? Has she looked, for example, at the metro routes or at a rapid bus service? I put it to you that she has not done any of this. This government has failed in infrastructure in Campbelltown, and so too has the infrastructure minister.
