Their silly website states that JET A-1 fuel is:
May be irritating to the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Breathing of high vapour concentrations may cause dizziness, light-headedness, headache, nausea and loss of co-ordination. Continued inhalation may result in unconsciousness
First of all this and other examples relate to direct contact with the fuel OR concentrated vapors which I doubt these householders would experience.
Second of all I was wondering how much Jet A-1 is actually used and stored at Essendon? I was under the impression that the average aircraft at Essendon would not use JET A-1.

Someone needs to inform the fuel company local to Essendon airport about the rally and get some representatives down to the demonstration with large shinny graphics and posters comparing fuels and how much pollution they actually receive off the freeways running around the airport.

A bit of logic, reason and basic maths will probably be like daylight to vampires for these people...
