I suggest our ACT Federal representatives get together to look after their constituents in the ACT. Pressure the NSW government to enact a covenant (if that's the legal term) on every block sold that says: "This block is under an existing flight path that will never, ever be varied. I hereby irrevocably waive my rights to complain." Make it a mandatory precondition for sale and on-selling of the blocks that the covenant be passed on - and buyer beware they'll then have to negotiate with Canberra airport for a curfew.
