I bring to the attention of the House that Sydney airport continues to operate very well as a shopping centre and a car park and that we are getting far too much noise in the electorate of Lowe and in the inner west of Sydney. I notice the Prime Minister is listening to me intently, and I ask him to tell Airservices Australia to implement fairly the long-term operating plan so that we only get 17 per cent of air traffic movements to the north of Sydney airport.
