Moorabbin Airport Petition
The privatisation of secondary airports was a grab for cash by the Federal Govt. Under the FAC these airports had some life and a controlling interest with an understanding of basic airport infrastructure. Generally, they were negotiable from my experience.
Enter the new owners. All deals cancelled or not renewed. Rents etc raised by sometimes stealth to so-called "market rates". Leases extinguished where possible and new more restrictive ones implemented. Costs go through the roof [bit like privatised electricity and water]. The carve up begins. Hoxton Park bulldozed and the airports become like ghost towns after rents just keep heading north at a rapid rate.
Hello these airports sit in the middle of an industrial zone and have a thousand or more acres o development land! BP truck stops/Bunnings/DFO/Schools/Concrete recycling/warehouses/car storage/heavy machinery sales yards etc etc etc appear while aviation disappears without a trace like the Mary Celeste...
Fight back by a united aviation industry????? Didn't and hasn't happened...Why??

What a corrupt farce.
I recall back in the early 80's applying for a flying school licence
and the then director invited me into his office,
complete with mini-golf set up, and while he putted a golf ball
around the office, he explained that in the very near future,
that Moorabbin would be shut down, due to all the complaints
of the neighbours and demand for real estate.
I did not buy it.
Anyhow, all the residents, past and present knew there was an airport
and all have a financial interest in getting rid of the airport to
increase the value of their own homes by not having an airport.
The Governments politicians would sell their own mothers into the
sex trade if they could and selling off any and every government
asset is another sign of the corrupt mentality that is driving
the far right of politics.
Now it's sell off the port of Melbourne, what's next,
sell off people at birth into slavery?
That is what is coming, the future generations will be slaves
to foreign owners one way or another absent
some common sense which seems to have been
also corruptly sold off.
Those residents around the MB airport will have to consider
the incredible increase in traffic if and when its all turned into high
rise apartments etc.
The current politicians keep looking for assets to sell and then lease back,
and if every one sold off their assets and leased it back, the entire country
would be bankrupt before the leases rant out.
I call em dead beat politicians.
