“Too late” she cried, sobbing, "far too bloody late".
Gates - ‘When we requested information supporting the CASA claim, they repeatedly fobbed us off until just recently. While the information they provided did not show the full extent of the hypothetical Public Safety Zone at Essendon, completed drawings showed many houses and part of a Primary School within the zone. Little wonder they weren’t keen to share the information! It confirmed our long held concern that residential and other buildings were far too close to the runway and flight paths of aircraft, a concern expressed by residents around Essendon.’
Second the Choc frog motion for Doc Gates. The quote above is pertinent and reflects the way in which each department interviewed at Estimates ‘ducked’ the responsibilities. Watching the Hansard video provides clear proof of this. The way the ‘responsibility’ parcel is passed about is self evident.
There is an embryonic, saccharine sweet story line which has been creeping into the media; it presents the notion that local council are the ultimate decision makers on development approval; and even intimates that it is they, despite advice to the contrary, are allowing the developments to continue. The councils are at the end of a very long, very weak chain of ‘responsibility’.
It’s all quite disgusting really; people put in harms way and an industry being crippled just for the sake of a few houses and a shopping mall. There is the whole wide land of Australia to build on but these clowns build at the end of active runways – WTD.
Anyone want to bet on Australia’s greatest aviation disaster weighing in and sorting this mess out? No – didn’t think so.
Toot - toot.
