## Resource

Western Sydney’s new airport just launched 24-hour cargo ops, sending shockwaves through nearby communities — some hearing planes roar like trucks at night, others barely noticing. Residents like Sharon Robertson, living 25km away, say the noise is unbearable, while those closer, like Wayne Willmington, report zero disturbance — proving location matters. The government touts advanced noise plans and insulation for 288 buildings, but critics argue only 250 homes are truly covered, calling it a double standard that treats western Sydney and the Blue Mountains like second-class citizens. The debate rages: are current measures enough to protect sleep and peace for those on the frontline? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
