I am most disappointed by revelations that the Federal Government has grossly overpaid for land for the development of Western Sydney Airport’s second runway.

This situation reeks of incompetence, and the Coalition Government must be appropriately scrutinized for this failure to responsibly manage taxpayer’s money.

Time and time again, the Coalition has demonstrated that they are not the responsible economic managers that they profess to be.

They have a history of blowing the Treasury’s funds, and awarding lucrative Government contracts in the most irresponsible of ways.

The Coalition Government consistently fails to invest in infrastructure and services for Macarthur and South West Sydney.

It is disappointing that they cannot provide our community with the investment that we desperately need to drive job creation and economic growth, but can manage to accidently overpay millions of dollars for a parcel of land.

Labor stands for integrity and transparency in Government.

We have consistently called for the creation of a National Integrity Commission, and will continue to fight to see that it is established.
