My question is to Senator Conroy, representing the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government. Is the minister considering the master plan for Canberra International Airport, including the proposal that it be a second Sydney airport and a national freight hub with 24-hour operations? I ask the minister: will he guarantee the people of Canberra and adjacent areas a good night’s sleep by ensuring there will be a curfew at Canberra airport from 11 pm to 6 am, as there is in Sydney and indeed in Essendon and Adelaide?
