You signed up for it.. Your problem.

Just like the accident at Essendon is a real problem for that specific operator... Essendon Fields..

To justify overdevelopment..because the economics of simply running a safe airport are unworkable..is unjustifiable..
Hey mate. I first responded to you as you seemed to think we don't pay council rates or land tax, which isn't correct.

Look, as I asked one of the other guys, give me an alternative model that will work. Take back the lease and then what....? I'm not looking to provoke here - tell me what you think. Do you want to pay 200% more on your charges because that is what we are looking at for cost recovery baseline.
