Civvies need to learn that they are guests at Willy town - at least until the Labor government rips the heart out of the ADF.
Gundog, could you remind me just who the RAAF reports to? Oh yeah, the government of this country..... Now just who does the government ultimately answer to? Oh yeah, the people of this country.... So it stands to reason if the people of this country need to utilise the Williamtown airspace as the population expands to cater for its needs then RAAF Willy will need to get the message and move with the times.... You are effectively a function of the public purse and are (ultimately, if not directly) answerable to the public.

I know how it feels to see a McDonalds restaraunt standing on what was my unit's HQ.... Why, because the public wanted/needed it. Who knows why.

Now where is that monkey (P_A_F), I need to shoot at something.....
