"Australia risks being “priced out” of the international aviation network when carbon pricing and other binding targets begin taking effect over the next decade...Operators disproportionately reducing frequencies of flights to the southern hemisphere as an easy path to meet their obligations in a carbon-constrained future.."

So how does Melbourne Airport justify the 'need' for a 3rd runway? It keeps telling us they need it to meet the increasing demand of aviation, yet this is not the story we are hearing from countries all across the globe!

An update from N3R Coalition member Kay Shields
(who is not on social media)

"Met Josh and Jill (Ros Spence MP’s office). They gave a good deal of time to learn of concerns.

Ultrafine particles (UFP) in emissions get carried by wind up to 20 km away. Particles are so small easily enter body and associated with lung cancer and early cognitive decline. Josh asked how UFPs could be monitored-research on UFPs is in early stages. Increasing flights emitting UFPs over a population of > 5 million will cost the public health system into the future.

More CO2 emissions over Melburnians impacted by climate now. Josh was aware of urban heating and lack of tree canopy in parts of electorate, this plus emissions puts people at risk from heat stress esp. elderly/young

Noise. Info sought on Brisbane-about 84% of airport popn. impacted by noise from parallel runway/A.N.O reported community not adequately consulted, residents can’t sleep, work from home, enjoy outdoor amenities, children irritable due to increased noise. Noise impacts early childhood language development and performance at school.

Wildlife threats to local species Growling Grass frog/ Swift parrot/Wedge tailed eagle. Removal of Grey box forest and protected grasslands for Airport Commercial Business Park and third runway.

What are coalition seeking from rep?

- To push government to honour their promise to reduce greenhouse gasses for liveable climate.

- To oppose the expansion as it threatens Melburnians health.

- To open up dialogue about impacts of a third runway and not to be met with a wall of silence."

"Alex Mungall (pictured) is both a "Flight Free" pledger and a member of the "NoThirdRunway Coalition" and was among those at a meeting of Melbourne's NxNW campaigns group where he talked about how a proposed third runway at the city's Tullamarine Airport would seriously compromise Australia's carbon dioxide emissions goals."

Today, the No 3rd Tulla Runway Coalition took our petition of over 500 signatures to Minister Catherine King's office in Ballarat.

Watch our live stream video of what took place on YouTube (link below).

Please send you emails to Minister King as a matter of urgency. We must act now before she goes to Canberra and makes her final decision next week! Ask your family, friends, communities and networks to do the same and invite them to this group too - we need your continued and ongoing support to win this fight!

** Sorry the audio and footage isn't better, I didn't have an external mic or tripod with me, as I had not planned on shooting the rally myself. I was also in a fair amount of pain as I had minor surgery just a few days before.
