This Madness Must Stop
I don’t know about you but I’m fed up. Absolutely fed up with the childish ongoing stupidity of the Sydney airport noise fiasco. Sydney airport (KSA) is not only the most important hub in Australia’s air transport network but congestion here also affects international flights from far and near. At the moment it is in a mess. Not only would the movement rate be enhanced if KSA was operated as a real three runway airport but in so doing much of the noise problem would also go away.
Sydney airport doesn’t have a noise problem. It doesn’t have a ‘third runway’ problem either. What it does have is a person problem. Namely that one man, unfortunately the Minister for Transport amongst other responsibilities, has his electorate at the western edge of the airport. The entire problem at KSA begins and ends solely with Laurie Brereton and that problem will unfortunately not go away till he and his Government are voted out of office. Simple as that.
