As has been stated, this was an article written for an Australian newspaper for an Australian audience. An audience that has up untill now never had the "secondary" airport thing to deal with.
With Jet* forming up and using secondary airports I dare say aussies when travelling to Europe will be more aware of the use of secondary (often limited facilities) airports and will be wiser.
I've used Ryanair and I have had no dramas with them. Often, the secondary airport that they use is more convenient.
