Lead-safety Message: In 2002, I received a fax from Canberra that clearly indicates pilots from RMIT Aviation Academy at Point Cook Airfield were instructed to fly away from the residential homes. When I sent it to the operational manager of the airfield, within 30 minutes the aircraft that were flying circuits over my property, decided to bombard me with aircraft flying over my home – flying north, south, east or west as if I was in a war zone. Until recently I didn’t know their piston-engine aircraft (PEAs) all use leaded AvGas.

Game they Play
Poem by Joe Schembri
The illusion of many hides the truth.
Through words and scripts they set the move.
Victims are chosen before it begins.
A silent border where nobody wins.
Like a chess game without any rules.
Power moves made behind closed rooms
Authorities hold the upper hand covering up the change with careful plans.
And why should truth be pushed away?
Why does illusion lead the day?
It’s the game they play
High stakes every day
Creating fires creating fear
Then acting like they weren’t here
Hiding the truth behind the stage
Turning the silence in to a cage
It’s the game they play
And the truth gets lost away.
Script writers lead with their pens in hand
Lines are drawn across the land,
Like sheep they follow, heads held low
Nobody asks what they all know.
They release the dogs to round up strays,
Calling order in different ways
The culture and the boys club stays
Still alive in real time today.
Like the Trojan horse, they roll it in
Systems of cover and power within.
Many choose to look away
Because the bully still walks today
The walls stay high, the door gets closed.
Truth gets buried never exposed.
It’s the game they play
The illusion remains
High stakes moving piece by piece
While the noise never brings release
But hiding truth won’t make it fade
Every script these marks they’ve made
It’s the game they play
But truth still finds its way.
