2nd North South Runway at Melbourne Airport

Melbourne Airport is testing public opinion(?) regarding building 2nd North South Runaway as a priority, reversing plans that East West runway was the priority. In a radio interview the reason given was a re-evaluation of new digital wind shear data, which indicates an increase in number of days E/W would be closed because of a narrowing of safety margins.
Oddly they do not seem to support the announcement with online maps and charts of flight paths.
