No NSW and VIC glory days are over George, the so-called power houses of the country are stagnating in political empathy and mass population rises with useless infrastructure to support them. BNE will soon have by far the best airport in the country with parallel 3.5 km runways, not the half arsed SYD solution with a main and a mini me, ( although it’s better than nothing of course) , Perth although several years off looks to be the next that will have a proper dual runway setup. This is not demeaning to MEL controllers at all but MEL airport really is a useless basket case of a place if you compare it to any population size city airport within a few thousand miles radius, and I mean just the setup of it not the controlling. I’m always reminded of the late 1960’s when taxiing on that corrugated taxiway Echo........oh yeah it is still the same taxiway from the late 60’s...
