Plenty of people were saying something, when the property developers were spreading fake news that they were the "owners" of Jandakot and were going to "Relocate" it, thus creating a sovereign risk for all tenants and making their investments in infrastructure worthless. They couldn't close Jandakot but it took years of hard work and lobbying by the tenants, while Dick was still talking about airspace, just to be able to maintain our right to quiet enjoyment of our leases without harassment from the leaseholders, who are not Australian, nor are they Chinese. ..in fact China Southern as tenants were a powerful ally in the battle to keep Jandakot as an airport.
"took our jerbs" is much more newsworthy I guess. Not sure where al these pilots are going to come from?
