Mr Speaker, I again bring to the attention of the House the disgraceful failure of the government to meet its 17 per cent target of air traffic movements to the north of Sydney airport. I am very pleased the Prime Minister is here in the chamber. Prime Minister, the latest figures are that we are getting 32 per cent of all air traffic movements to the north. As a good friend of mine, you should do something about it to look after my constituents.
