Greens' pledge to shut Essendon Airport
So where will your capitalist mates park there corporate jets then Mr Shorten?
Just thinks if the greens controlled Australia and closed the airport down we could turn Essendon Fields into one big marijuana crop, or a nice place for the boat people to live, hippy commune or even a free range organic fanny farm.

Organic fanny farm? Actually, that might have an upside! Really, If you guys haven't actually read the Greens policies closely, you should. It really is scary ****.
It seems that now all of the candidates are in agreement - they want the airport closed...

CEAC and that woman are back again...
I guess they don't understand what a 99 year lease is. And no suggestions as to where the emergency services might be relocated and how such a relocation might impact on operations.

Pollies don't want Essendon Airport
02 Nov, 2010 01:00 AM
ALL candidates running for the state seat of Essendon have agreed that operations at the Essendon Airport should be phased out.
In a rare agreement cutting across political boundaries, Labor candidate Justin Madden, Greens' Rose Iser and independent Paul Giuliano confirmed they would like to see the airport closed.
The candidates made their stance clear at a public meeting last Thursday.
Organised by the Close Essendon Airport Committee, more than 80 residents attended the meeting and pushed the candidates not just on if they wanted to see the airport shut down but how they would achieve its closure.
CEAC spokeswoman Helen van den Berg said the meeting was a great success.
"Everyone agreed that emergency services was a key issue and they needed to be relocated."
Greens' Iser said she had written to Premier John Brumby and Liberal leader Ted Baillieu asking for commitments from them to make the airport closure issue part of their election platform.

Reference the book out this year, A Climate for Growth, Planning South East Queensland, in the "Problems that need resolution" section there is mention of the redevelopment for housing of Archerfield airport. There is also this comment in the climate chapter "We are walking backwards into the storm of climate change"..
Hmmm, instead of society moving forward, methinks we are 'walking backwards' into a green disaster....

“ There is a fair amount of reasonable science behind the global warming debate, but in general, and give or take a religion or two, never has quite so much rubbish been espoused by so many on so little evidence. One wonders why. We live in an age where common sense and tolerance are supposed to be the basis of our system of education, but where there is very little of common sense and absolutely nothing of tolerance in the public argument about the climate change business. Perhaps it is that people simply have a basic need for fairy tales and doomsday stories. “

Any housing at Archerfield will have to be on really big stumps. It must be one of the boggiest places in Brisbane, apart from YBBN of course. Council have already had to buy back a number of properties close to Archerfield at Rocklea that constantly flood now the drought has broken, and Murarrie is going to be very interesting to watch over summer, preferably from the top of a very large tree.
They've had bad form for allowing housing in known flood areas and it's biting them now, so hopefully they've lived and learned.
I like the quote, btw.

The Greens are a waste of democracy.............................
Tell me I am wrong, even though their existnce is because of it.
It is the morons who vote that matter.......Moron is what Moron does.

When you live....
Simple - get the 'close Moorabbin airport' activists onto their local members to explain that if EN closes, then MB traffic levels go up - including all night operations, RFDS, POLAIR etc.
Set the two groups into competition as to which should be closed (i.e. ok, we'll close one - just agree on which) and leave them to it.

CP,
if you are truely believing that Steve Price, alan Jones and Andrew Bolt represent an intelligent fairminded point of view on any policy matter you are just a wee bit right of Gengis Kahn. they may well represent your political beliefs but that does not make them right (then again I suppose it does make them very Right, but not correct)
Start emailing and mailing the libs, and the Labour party as well, to stand up and provide real assurances that the value of EN is recognized and preserved. we have 'safe' National party ( national joke party ) reps down here who have been approached to stand up for regional victorians and the value of Essendon Airport to all victorians, but they respond with a deafening silence, they are as bad as the greens for opposing every bit of progress and infrastructure.
Screaming 'no greens' and deifying Andrew bolt are both completely futile exercises. contact Your Local Member and tell them why They need to preserve this important state asset. get your mum and dad and all your friends to do the same. if eneough people of Victoria want it kept, a few snivelling NIMBYs will be beaten.
I have written submissions to government (state and federal) and outlined all my reasons why , my state , region, community and family benefit from Essendon's continueing viability. you should do the same!
Stop shouting about what bogeymen (bogeypersons??) the greens are, and telling everyone that Alan jones can fix it. Put your key board to a better use, start writing properly constructed and reasoned submissions to perple who actually matter, not bigotted journos and radio bigmouths, they do it to sell advertising and don't give a stuff about you and your soap box. Also earbash every pollie you meet about how important it is, they do listen, cos you can chuck them out if you and enough people share your beliefs.

I can't tell you how much I'd like to support you guys in sending those
m

Don't ever let them approach anywhere near your fields..
Aviation is one of the beauty of our society...why do they wanna kill it so badly?
Is it already to late for Australia?

Bet a lot of property developers around Melbourne have suddenly joined the Greens, or are making political donations to them to help make Melbourne a little "greener".
CLX - You cynical person, you...
CP - Add a few other "secondary" people to your list, a la Tim Blair, Piers Akerman, even Terry McCrann. And you just have to love vexnews - they give everyone a serve, but Landeryou really hoes into the Greens.
Unfortunately 20% of voters in inner urban land have yet to read the Greens` policies and understand the potential ramifications...and Baillieu is about to cut off the Libs nose to spite Labors face with the preference thing. Not looking good. For anyone. Except the Greens.
But back on topic - the Greens would probably argue that RFDS, SAR, corporate jets and Police Air Wing could always be moved to Tulla. The littlies would logically head the other way. Certainly makes sense on paper...
PS - Teal - "more than 80 residents attended the meeting". Don`t everyone laugh at once, now. Impressive groundswell there, not...sounds more like it was a noise complaint serial pest hugfest convention.

I'm telling you guys . You think that's a long shot before they you,
but before you know it, you'll be crying for the loss of Essendon...
And after that...and after....
I'm telling that according to my previous experience in Europe.
Do something.Now.

Just think of the congestion on the Tullamarine freeway, when they close the airport and turn it into an environmentally friendly housing estate complete with numerous shopping centres!!!!!
Think of all those council rates, levies, development fees and charges that the local council could impose on the developers, not to mention the backhanders and brown paper bags. Think of all those dollars that could be spent on funding council fact finding missions to some far away destination over a cold Melbourne winter.

You can't get into the forest, they locked the gate!
What's wrong with the greens?
I think that they are an intelligent, well informed, community orientated group of people that know what they're talking about.
What they say must be true, they saw it in a film!
Sorry, I meant to ask "What's right with the greens?"
I congratulate them on proving their ineptitude
Victorian election coming up.
Make sure you number every box in the senate and put the greens and those whom have their lips on preferential green butts last!
Did it in the fed election, will do it in the state one too.
