Unbelievably, the Federal Government is planning to sell off the Point Cook RAAF base to developers. This historic site is not just a piece of land; it is a cornerstone of our national identity and a vital part of our cultural heritage.

Many might not be aware, but Point Cook RAAF base is home to one of the oldest air forces in the world at 112 years old. This is the very birthplace of Australian military aviation, where the first flying training course commenced in 1914. Over the decades, this site has witnessed countless milestones in both military and civil aviation, shaping the very backbone of Australian defence history. To allow its sale to developers is to erase those stories and sacrifices.

Point Cook RAAF base stands as a testament to our nation's commitment to protect its skies, having served as a crucial training ground during World War I and II, and beyond. It's where the Royal Australian Air Force was born in 1921, setting the stage for numerous air campaigns and operations. Selling it off doesn't merely erase a location; it erases the legacy of bravery, sacrifice, and innovation that defines Australia.

We must take a stand to preserve this sanctuary of history. Let's say NO to the sale. NO to the loss of Australia's history. NO to the destruction of our heritage. Instead, let's encourage government officials to consider alternative solutions, such as investing in a heritage restoration project, turning the base into a museum or an educational center dedicated to Australian aviation history.

Together, we can ensure that future generations grasp the significance of our aviation past and understand why it's worth preserving. Sign this petition to save Point Cook RAAF base. Save Australia's heritage, and help ensure our history remains standing strong and proud for generations to come.
