Political onslaught....

Easy solution:
If Liberal are in power just build the Airport in an electorate which is, and has always been, Labor. Oh yeah and put the flight path over Labor electorates too.

Now follow me through with this one….

The SIDs, STARs and DGAs will obviously need to be planned so as to stay within the appropriate electorate.
For instance: “SID - Mount Druitt Four Departure”….now that has a certain ring to it!!

In all seriousness, this is how it works. Things electorates get are dependent on what type of electorate you live in (Lib/Lab). So if you want attention (from pollies) move to a swinging electorate.

Pollies love to wheel this one out as a distraction when pushing something else through......what are they trying to sneak through? A change of government perhaps..a new tax perhaps...more immigrants....hmmm
