On 23 August, Frank Rivoli, Michael Howson and Mark Carter met with Maria Vamvakinou, federal MP for Calwell, in her electorate office at 11am for half an hour.

Mark spoke on global warming, aircraft emissions, pollution. He made the point that supporting a third runway at Melbourne Airport will increase emissions and not reduce. Maria was of the opinion that emissions will come down and aviation is not a significant source of emissions. She was unaware that flight emissions were a significant contributor to climate change, and agreed to have Mark prepare for her briefing notes on the issue.  

Mike spoke and presented data which identifies impacts to our health and children. She showed interest in Mike presentation. 
 
Frank presented information on the public consultation and reduced public comment period and asked her to support her local community and make representations to Minister King. Maria did not make specific commitments and said she is aware of communities concern over aircraft noise. 
 
She informed us the airport is now within the electorate of Maribyrnong, and encouraged us to meet with  Bill Shorten.

A copy of our presentation was sent to her.
