Brisbane Airport

It looks as though the Greens may pick up the three electorates affected by noise from the new 19R/01L. They were the only party that promised to do everything demanded by the noise lobby.
Assuming Labor ends up having to cooperate with the Greens to pass legislation, and the Greens price is a Brisbane Airport curfew and movement caps:
My question is:
Can Brisbane Airport Corporation sue the two Federal Government agencies, Airservices and CASA, responsible for flight paths and deleting the 10 Knot tailwind exemption that have caused the problems?
Note: Airservices has been slammed by an inquiry for lack of consultation and told by consultants they did not try very hard, and CASA could have allowed the 10 tailwind exemption to continue for 01R (properly authorised 30 years ago and still in use until Airservices asked the question) while not approving in excess of 5 kts for 01L.
Any aviation lawyers out there?
