Federal parliamentarians

Victorians can tell their federal parliamentarians that the 55% increase in domestic flight emissions out to 2030 (on 2005) that the Third Runway will enable, does not align with Labor’s 43% reduction target. 

You can ask them if they support the call for an Environment Impact Statement on the Third Runway’s total flight emissions, and a Health Impacts Statement on the unlimited noise pollution created by Third Runway flight. 

You can ask them if they oppose the proposed 3rd runway at Melbourne Airport.
