Not exactly HEADLINES eh? This IMPORTANT News was largely IGNORED by our Un-sympathetic, Pro-Development Media.
And the Regional Newspaper "The DAILY" didn't even give it a mention at
all. Which is par for their course - They have carefully avoided
ANY Anti-Airport News for the whole campain and have only ever printed
inflamitory remarks and letters to the editor which were hurtfull or
harmfull to our plight.
Personally, I will Believe it when I SEE it! We have been down THIS Road before (Like 7 years ago) and there is a Council Election comming up soon. I don't think the Puppeteers
have given up just yet. We may have won this skirmish,
but until the East/West Runway is actually BUILT the Powerful People in
charge will continue working behind the scenes to achieve their goals.
OCT.06-Update - CLICK Here For A SOLUTION by AIRWIZ that
would WORK
The
Public Consultation Period Ended on 14/8/06
At the LAST Meeting on
9/8/06, Mayor Joe Natoli told guests that it was his responsibility to
ensure that The Airport was developed to it's limit as a viable business unit of
the Council. That's why He was
Elected.
But THAT's NOT SO! -
They DON'T have a MANDATE, or an OBLIGATION to persist with
ANY Airport upgrades whatsoever.
However they DO have
a RESPONSIBILITY to the Residents of the Sunshine Coast NOT to
endanger their Lives or Lifestyles merely to appease the wishes and
increase the profits for of the very FEW
who would reap the benefits from this morally corrupt and despicable
venture. Like it or not, the people who chose to live in the
vicinity of the airport are still counted as Sunshine Coast
Residents (not
merely Pawns in some hideous Monopoly Game)
and it matters not that a Councilor was elected by his little band of
supporters in Mudjimba or Buderim or anywhere else, he still has a
RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that their RIGHTS are DEFENDED.
Yes - Perhaps we should have known when we built here 30 years ago,
that the Landing Field would develop into an Airport,
and perhaps the then Mayor Eddie Devere should have told us THAT when we asked?
And perhaps Don Culley should have known that his little Air Field
would be developed into an International
Airport.
And perhaps some time in the future, know-alls will say that Joe Natoli
should have known that his International Airport would become the
Target for International TERRORISTS? -
It would be great if we could all predict the Future like some wise
people who live in Buderim and write scornful letters to the News
Papers. But we weren't blessed with your wisdom or forethought,
so cut us some slack mate. Hey! - We could use a bit of the good
ol' Aussie Support, instead of your bloody Wise Cracks!
