Senator CONROY (Victoria—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Digital Productivity) (14:17): If you are visiting Western Sydney for an extended period of time, it makes sense to stay there. Let us be sensible about this. The PM spending time in Western Sydney shows the importance of the region to the country. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Conroy, resume your seat. When there is silence, we will proceed. Senator CONROY: In order to maximise the time the Prime Minister spends there over the next week, the PM has chosen to stay in Western Sydney. It really is as simple as that. All of the hypocrisy and the catcalls from those opposite are simply hypocrisy. The PM has spent a lot of time in Sydney over the last year, and anyone who has spent time in Sydney understands the pressures of the commute. So those opposite should just continue to advocate slashing and burning jobs and investment in Western Sydney, because the Liberal Party cuts in New South Wales are just a curtain raiser for the people of Western Sydney to the vicious cuts that the Leader of the Opposition, the member for North Sydney and the member for Goldstein will have to make.
