Of airports, the decimation of small businesses, and greed
The idiot CEO at Cairns airport has spent probably close to 5 years pushing out General Aviation. It has been decimated. Businesses that ran for decades have either folded or been forced to relocate to Mareeba or other areas. Same CEO was behind closing the airports second runway. Same CEO has done the same at Mackay airport and pushed general aviation users out by hiking up fees, plus they are closing it's second runway. The damage has been done.
As for Queensland Treasury, what a load of crappola. They've sat by idly and watched these two particular airports close runways and damage small businesses, and not even blinked an eyelid. Airports are no longer about aeroplanes, rotaries and engineering, they haven't been for some time. It's all about hedge funds and superannuation firms pillaging and raping every infrastructure asset they can find, so as to ensure that the Wall Street bankers get their tens of millions of dollars each per year.
