Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given Western Sydney is one of the fastest growing parts of Australia—as expressed to me by the Liberal candidate for Chifley, Isabelle White—does the minister agree that what the people of Western Sydney really want from this government is a plan, not just a visit when the polls turn sour? If the government is fair dinkum about helping the people of Western Sydney, why won't it abolish the carbon tax, which both increases the cost of living and destroys jobs, stop the boats and commit to build the WestConnex?
