If Richmond had five times the area or more, room for at least two parallel runways capable of simultaneous MTOW A380 and autoland operations each with separate and independent ground access (taxiways) and holding bays, 24/7 operations, freeway access north, south, east and west, underground, automated and non-stop rail link to Mascot and then onto the city running every 15 minutes, then I might agree with you. If not, then Richmond might make a convenient Sydney domestic reliever/freight airport, but nothing more.
I'm with PAF; there's a camel in the making.
