Sandy,
its often said you can't beat the "Big end of town" What the big end wants it gets, by hook or by crook. In the case of secondary airports, given the evidence, more by crook than hook I would suggest, there is no logical imperative for the destruction of vital public infrastructure.
The land is owned by the Commonwealth, they are the ones who have signed off on this wanton vandalism.
When the inevitable disaster strikes who will carry the liability?
My guess, the Australian taxpayer.
What will be the Commonwealths response?
After a few political donations and promised directorships, I would guess........
"Secondary airports are far too dangerous to be located in heavily urbanised locations and need to be shutdown"
Anyone want to take bets on that outcome?
