Damage discovered on a new Manly ferry just months after it began carrying passengers is expected to worsen and occur on the other overseas-built vessels now used on the popular Sydney harbour route, a leaked report warns.

The leaked report by independent inspectors hired by Transdev, which operates the government-owned fleet, warns that the damage to the Fairlight’s port side “will only increase with time due to further fatigue of the area”.

The inspectors say that, while unlikely to compromise the 34-metre ferry’s structural integrity, it is likely that over time the damage will appear on the starboard side of the Fairlight as well as the two other new Manly ferries because they “share the same design and operational loadings”.
“Some evidence of this is already present on Balmoral,” the report says.

There seems to be some reluctance to say where they were actually built.

This report says they were designed in Australia and built by an Australian company.

Where this happened seems to be a mystery.

My guess is C***a.

Thankfully W.A has shunned the pokies, I wonder how much poverty, domestic violence, theft, broken families and unhappy childhoods they cause in society.

The analysis by the charity also reveals cumulative losses by people who use poker machines in NSW over the past 30 years hit $135 billion.

Be interesting to see how much punitive damages are ordered. Frankly they should be at least 10 times more.
 
Notwithstanding, the trial did told a lovely mic drop moment (memetized for comic effect)

He is a main stream white guy. Does anyone really believe he will get 1 second of jail time? It's the USA.
 
I heard his lawyers accidentally sent his historical texts to the opposition lawyers. That's after he said he deleted them or something.
