Melbourne residents opposing a $1.9 billion third runway at Melbourne Tullamarine airport are calling for the federal government to establish an independent committee to review the impact of additional noise pollution.

Brisbane Airport's second runway is once again operational, after being out of action for three days due to excessive floodwater covering the runway and its adjoining taxiways.
UPDATE: Gold Coast Airport has officially reopened as of Tuesday morning, while Lismore Airport is now largely underwater as the flooding crisis continues to worsen south of the border.
