No Light Rail to Gold Coast Airport

Gold Coast airport management isn't keen on public transport - for example the taxis have been thrown out and have to line up outside a nearby hotel because Uber bribed Gold Coast airport to remove the taxi rank from in front of the terminal.

What OOL really needs is a railway station - for what you and I call trains but opponents call "heavy" rail. That would not only ease transport from the airport, but a fast train to Brisbane would attract commuters to the southern Gold Coast and ease the housing crisis in the city.
At the moment the southern part of the GC appears to be the best part, less commercialised and not many tall buildings. The residents there wouldn't want to change it to be like Surfers.
