Tanya Plibersek in Sydney seems to be getting off easy.
In regards to Brisbane, I live close to the Brisbane River, the aircraft turn for base , when on 01, is supposed to be around Brekky Creek. The prevailing breeze is usually a N/NE which means they will be pushed to the southern side of the River, Bulimba, Hawthorne,etc (over my place). Folklore has it that the designer of the Approach lived in Hamilton (Northern side) and made the turn a bit closer to push them away from his area.
Of course Albanese has made some grandstanding announcement to make his electorate feel better, it is an election year. Most people in his electorate wouldn't know that it won't make a skerrig of difference, no offence to them.
