"Is not YSBK still the property, leased out / administered by the Federal Govt?

According to the terms of the leases when the airports were 'sold off', they are required to be run as AIRPORTS for the term of the lease...??


errr??? s'cus me,

Sorry FSO, the airports act I believe your alluding to??

Hoxton Park was a federal Airport unless I'm mistaken? Gone like a fart in a thunderstorm.

Political party donations, retirement jobs for Politicians and senior Bureaucrats grease a lot of wheels.

You sure the airports act will protect Secondary Airports?

It is after all billions of $$$ of green field vacant land we are talking about, that sort of money buys a lot of corruption..oops sorry political influence.

How many other requirements of the "Act" relating to ownership have been conveniently swept under the table, Money talks!!!
