It's quite easy for politicians to bleet about using williamtown to solve their own inept planning over many years.

It's not a solution to Sydneys woes. It's too far from Sydney to be really useful, however if expanded civil ops are required, then someone needs to pony up the money to build a second runway and the associated infrastructure. Additional civil ops in the current configuration are not going to work efficiently.

My question is who is going to pay. The federal govt is effectively out of the business.

Moving the raaf would be outrageously expensive and the same question applies, who's paying.

I think we'll be putting up with Kingsford Smith for some time yet.
