FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

New South Wales Premier Barry O’Farrell says the Federal Government should look at improving the capacity of Sydney’s existing airport before worrying about building a second one.
Over the past few weeks, there has been renewed debate about the idea of a second airport being built either at Badgerys Creek in the west or Wilton in the city’s south-west.
Mr O’Farrell’s office has confirmed he asked a parliamentary committee exploring economic development in New South Wales to look at how Badgerys Creek could be developed for housing.
Mr O’Farrell made the request last year, six months before a report was due from an expert panel on Australia’s aviation capacity.
He has told Sky News the aviation report failed to change his mind on the best use for the Badgerys Creek site.
“Its preferred option is Badgerys Creek and yet it says that Badgerys Creek, an airport at Badgerys Creek, would deliver noise impacts on 1.6 million residents across greater western Sydney,” he said.
“It’s been rejected as recently as March 5 by the Gillard Government, it’s simply not real life.”
Mr O’Farrell has said he would like to see a new airport built in Canberra, with the two linked by high-speed rail.
Sydney residents opposed to the building a new airport in the city’s west say Mr O’Farrell is right to suggest alternatives to the two proposed Sydney sites.
Mark Pigram, a councillor at Holroyd in Sydney’s south-west and long-term lobbyist on the issue, says Mr O’Farrell is on the right track.
“A fast rail to Canberra, golly, Newcastle is looking for an expansion of their airport, why not a fast rail to Newcastle?” he said.
“[There are a] whole variety of options but it’s just these nimbies who don’t want an airport at Mascot but are quite happy to throw it in the backyard of western Sydney.
“If they think that they’ve got a damn fight coming.”
