I welcome the Minister to the House yet again. Senator Craughwell outlined the concerns of the local residents in regard to the noise element. We understand it is the development of an international airport. However, the members of the local community have been quite reasonable and they are really looking for safeguards which are covered by these amendments.

As has been outlined, amendments Nos. 12 and 14 are disingenuous, given the manner in which they are being put forward. In effect, what we are seeing this evening is a guillotine. I had hoped to have a debate and discussion with the Minister on many of the amendments.
