Who currently lives at .... ooooh I don't know .... umm Weipa, or Katherine, or Derby ? Who - let's get down to brass tacks - WANTS to live at Weipa, Katherine, or Derby?
OK, so why are RAAF knucks (and spanners and techos and controllers and ADGs and clerks and firies) any different? Are people REALLY willing to utterly destroy recruitment and retention amongst the most expensive to train commonwealth employees, just so bugsmashers (and I'm one) can fly more conveniently through the Hunter Valley?
C'mon ....
