The Hunter's Paterson and Port Stephens MPs are calling for a federal government representative to visit Williamtown over the weekend.
It comes as high-profile Liberal Party Generals prepare for a Saturday meeting of the Liberal State Council in Port Stephens, with tradition dictating the Federal Leader of the Liberals be in attendance.
Meryl Swanson and Kate Washington are asking those party members and the Prime Minister - whoever he may be - to stop in the PFAS red zone and meet with devastated residents.
The pair has slammed the petty politics happening in Canberra, with federal parliament shut down this afternoon, ahead of a leadership spill tomorrow which looks set to see Malcolm Turnbull toppled by Peter Dutton or Scott Morrison.
In an impassioned speech delivered on Wednesday night, Ms Swanson said the Prime Minister cannot conscionably pass by the Williamtown contamination zone.
"Gladys Berejiklian, the NSW Premier, will be there and tradition says that the federal leader should arrive as well," Ms Swanson explained, "well whoever that may be, when the VIP jet lands on Saturday DO NOT detour past the people of Williamtown, have the gumption to face them."
Kate Washington has also called on the government to focus on those Defence has wronged, rather than themselves.
"I don't want to see the Prime Minister drive through the red-zone and avoid these families like the Premier did last year," she said.
With the coalition in chaos, it seems unlikely a high-ranking cabinet member will make an appearance in Williamtown, but residents are surely keeping their fingers crossed.
