I am getting a bit fed up with the member for Fowler coming in here time and time again like a rooster into the henhouse, flapping and chooking about, misrepresenting my position on so many things. First she came in here talking about my travel. I laid a wreath at Gallipoli for the people of Penrith, the people of Lindsay. It was the first time that that had ever occurred.

As for Badgerys Creek, here she is, chooking on about Badgerys Creek. It was the Labor Party that put it there. Anne Cohen was the Liberal who stood up against the Labor Party putting that airport there. Diane Beamer in her maiden speech talked about supporting it. As the Mayor of Penrith, she actively supported it. Your federal members previously in your seats actively worked to get that airport put there at Badgerys Creek. This government has no plans for a second airport. The only people with a plan for a second airport are you.

Order! I remind the member for Lindsay that she should address her remarks through the chair.
