By the end of 1994, plane noise emanating from Sydney Airport was emerging as an important issue to deal with, with the shut-down of the runway that runs east-west putting pressure on Easson and the other MPs from the areas around the airport. She was also subject to pressure regarding the controversial decision of the government to increase woodchip exports. In the months leading up to the election in 1996 the issue of aircraft noise was becoming a more prominent issue.

The Democrat was elected into in the House of Representatives on her second try in the federal election of 1993 and defeated Liberal Shadow Health Minister Bob Woods after a redistribution resulted in a shift of the marginal seat to the direction of Labor. The result was described as an “surprise” victory that the party was not expecting to secure, with voter worried about Liberal plans for Medicare (in Woods’ portfolio) as well as what would happen to the Sydney Airport curfew and a campaign that was reportedly important. The campaign of Easson was widely celebrated following the election. She was a part in the Labor Right faction.
