#60ProtestReasons: 36 – Lies & Deceit
Today’s protest reason is short n sweet & brought to you by @BrisbaneAirport CEO Gert-Jan de Graaff himself. This is what he had to say on @7NewsAustralia on 21 Feb 2020 prior to the launch of the New Parallel Runway:
.@7NewsBrisbane: “The second runway doubles the airport’s capacity from 52 aircraft an hour to 110.”

@BrisbaneAirport CEO de Graaff: “That’s about the same as Hong Kong and Singapore. The net effect of aircraft flying over the city will decrease.“

#60ProtestReasons: 35 – Barnaby’s “Community” Forum
In response to community pressure and advocacy from BFPCA, then Deputy PM and Minister for Infrastructure & Transport @Barnaby_Joyce announced the Brisbane Airport Post-Implementation Review Advisory Forum (BAPAF) ... Image
... on 24 Sep 2021 in a joint media release with then MP for Brisbane Trevor Evans. The grand headline at the time was: “Community voices to be heard on Brisbane Airport noise issues.” web.archive.org/web/2021092405…

So let’s see whether community voices were heard.
.@Barnaby_Joyce appointed:
1. Ross Musgrove as the forum’s chair, previously CEO of the Western Downs Regional Council;
2. Robert Borbidge AO, Queensland Premier (Nationals) from 1996 to 1998;
3. Claire Moore, a former Labor Senator for Queensland;

#60ProtestReasons: 37 – How our curfew was stolen
Have you seen those silly comments from the usual trolls 👹 saying, “The airport was there before you”…? Well, two facts: (1) @BrisbaneAirport in its current location only opened on 19 March 1988. Before that, Brisbane was ...
... serviced by the Eagle Farm airport next to Doomben racecourse. (2) Eagle Farm airport not only had the benefit of a much more noise-friendly cross-runway, IT HAD A NIGHT-TIME CURFEW.

What happened? Image
Eagle Farm airport had a curfew due to noise pollution over residential areas. When Eagle Farm closed, @BrisbaneAirport opened in its current location with no curfew imposed. What is now called the Legacy runway brought aircraft in over (then as yet undeveloped) Murarrie.
