Ms LE (Fowler) (14:46): Prime Minister, your government has found $660 million to develop the $93 billion fast rail to Newcastle, a 194-kilometre project promising a six-minute trip. Yet in Western Sydney, just 34 kays from the new airport to Liverpool, more than 1.2 million residents still have no East West Rail Link—a journey that takes six to seven minutes by bus.

Why prioritise a high-risk fast rail over a critical link for Western Sydney, once again leaving people behind? How does that make sense?
