Ah yer, so the Australian taxpayers have to throw another few hundred grand or millions on a runway that serves tourists in a foreign country.
If the runway condition had deteriated so much that it's unusable to jets, one must question how it got to this stage. I have no issues with Australia helping out, however we must be looking at the long term solution, if we are going to throw money at it. How do the airport owners maintain the aerodrome, why has it got to this stage of disrepair.
