I'd like to complain about...

How easy it is to be a nimby!
New web site has been set up by the government and CASA.

They may have missed a button on this new website for making a complaint about CASA however there is a mechanism in place for doing it directly with the organisation:

so hopefully when you lodge a complaint they take your name and all your personal details so that when you are in any of the following situations, no pesky aircraft will bother you:

Are stuck in a bush fire
Had a heart attack in the middle of nowhere
Have fallen down a cliff
Want to know what the traffic is like on the way to work
Want to watch the news and see more about that murder that happened
Get the urge to go for a holiday by air
Are about to board a plane along with a terrorist
Live in a city about to be bombed by airstrikes
OR
Feel like buying a house 4 meters from a runway threshold

I would love to read some of those complaints, i bet about 50 % will be the illogical fault of the complainer!

It would be nice if they added an exclusion saying that those people who live within 5 Nautical Miles (by definition this is the Vicinity of an Airport) were specifically excluded from making a noise complaint.. That should be the very first question on the complaint form... how close do you reside from an airport... if inside 5nm they can not complain further.

and alongside that question which says do you live within 5nm of an airport, should be followed by, was the airport built prior to you buying & building your house there (ie: you got cheap land there because of the noise, so you have no right to complain) although I have known of a couple of people who specifically buy housing near airports or racetracks, then try to get them closed down to increase the resale value of their property, pathetic people they are
