09.01.2022 Yesterday it was asbestos and now they wont fit under the bridges along their route. These are the new ferries that the NSW Government paid $1.3 billion for and... sent the construction work and jobs offshore to China, Singapore and Indonesia. Following the delivery of some of the new ferries last week, the Maritime Union of Australia - MUA discovered asbestos in gaskets on three of the new vessels. And now, 10 new Sydney ferries will not be able to pass under two bridges on the Parramatta River if commuters are seated on the top deck. Passengers will be required to come down off the top deck of the ferries before the ferries can procced. Last year the Government bought trains from South Korea that didnt fit the tracks.

09.01.2022 DIRECT BUS CONNECTION BETWEEN MARKETOWN AND NEWCASTLE EAST From Sunday 13 December, the route of the 23 service will be extended to provide a direct connectio...n between Marketown and Newcastle East, an improvement the residents and I have been fighting for. Particularly for the elderly residents, using the light rail was not feasible due to the walk between the stop and the shopping centre, which only became more difficult if they were also carrying shopping. This may seem like a little win, but it will actually make a big difference to the people who will be using it. Timetable information will be available from Sunday 29 November at newcastletransport.info or by calling 131 500. You can also pop into the Newcastle Interchange if you would like to speak to someone in person. Thanks to Newcastle East residents and the Rail, Tram and Bus Union for working with me to advocate for this important service. Thank you Newcastle Transport and Transport for NSW for listening and acting on the community’s concerns.
