From the keyboard of Paul (fearless) Phelan.
Speaking of Airports and the rampant rape and pillage of 'useful' space; and the costs to the public of privatisation; and of building close in; and of the risk of wind shear and vortex upset; and the huge increase in rent; and the punitive 'lease' agreements; and the money being made by non aviation interests (dis?), do we have Albo to thank for it all?
May 2012 –
“In an Administrative Appeals Tribunal hearing commenced this week, the Archerfield Chamber of Commerce (ACC) Inc. is seeking an AAT finding to set aside a Ministerial Decision of former Transport Minister Anthony Albanese in May 2012, which approved the Archerfield Airport 2011-2031 master plan. The hearing commenced in Brisbane yesterday (Tuesday 18 November) and is expected to run until November 26.Witnesses for the Chamber will include a former Federal Minister of Aviation Mr Peter Morris and other aviation experts, some of whom are former Federal Government employees.
The Chamber is asserting that the Department of Transport and Infrastructure and CASA did not assess the approved Master Plan with the required detail and technical accuracy demanded. In short the approval was granted without having regard to current applicable legislation, the interests of the aviation industry, the general public and the use of erroneous technical assessments.
Remarkable – nothing changes - the gift to developers which just keeps giving- thanks Albo...
