Below is an exert from a speech given by Anthony Albanese to the Western Sydney Aerotropolis Summit in 2017;

"However, aircraft still make noise.
It is important we engage very closely with surrounding communities to develop a world-class noise mitigation plan, including the creation of a night time no-fly zone.
Last year, Bill Shorten and I announced Labor’s plan for a no-fly zone between 11pm and 6am.

It will be possible to ensure simultaneous operations for take offs and landings to the south-west of the runway, stopping flights over residential communities at night.
I’m pleased to say the Government, after initially rejecting this idea, has embraced it.
That’s another example of bi-partisanship in the public interest. "

Let me be clear - we will not accept anything other than a curfew that protects all residents and not just those to the north of the airport. However, this speech makes it very clear that we have been deceived. The Aviation Whitepaper states that the Labor government's clear policy is that there shall be no operating restrictions at all on airports, including curfews. This is a clear contradiction to what was stated in 2017, when construction commenced.
