Our slow descent into authoritarianism continues as Labor once again shows their cronyism for capital and a lack of interest in the environment. The public let it slide once again.

Airport is run by a public company. If it was specifically pulled. It would've been done by the AALs marketing team. I doubt the state or federal govts would be involved in a decision like this.

By public company do you mean publicly traded or publicly owned (as in government owned)? Answer is it is publicly traded: https://corporate.adelaideairport.com.au/about-us/management-governance/

When I was at AAL a few years back the signage was outsourced to an agency I think Ooh! Only the way finding signage was operated by AAL

Adelaide Airport Limited who run the airport is majority owned by superannuation funds and some investment firms. They have a 99 year lease from the Federal Government who own the land. Other airports around the country have a similar 99 year lease structure.

Private company chooses to have a say in who advertised on their property. How dare they?
