The NSW government will buck a recent trend of overseas shipbuilding with two new $10 million firefighting vessels to be produced in the state as Transport Minister Andrew Constance eyes future local manufacturing options for electric ferries.
The new multipurpose vessels will be built in Port Macquarie and are expected to be completed by 2023 to replace two 40-year-old firefighting tugs.
NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance says he is considering building electric ferries locally.
Lancashire brawn. Proper reet good.

While Pamela Kerr of Moonta Bay (SA) thinks “both Seppo Ranki and Graham Harris have less brain than brawn” (C8), head cheese has its fans among the readership, one of them being David Bentham of Jordan Springs: “During World War II, our family in Lancashire gave up ration books to be allowed to home-kill a pig once or twice a year. Nothing wasted. The head boiled for ages. Onions, herbs, stale bread and secret things. All pressed to become a wonderful brawn. This was bartered and much-coveted in the village. The vicar preached about sharing and making do. He described Mrs Bentham’s pig’s head as ambrosia. He was right.”

The hippies are here
“A Sydney clergyman has warned of the growing dangers of a strange new ‘religious cult.’ It is emerging among teenagers in Sydney and is based on the mind-bending drug LSD. The clergyman is the Rev. Ted Noffs, of the Wayside Chapel, Kings Cross. Members of the cult are known as ‘hippies’. A similar cult has rocked American social workers since it appeared 18 months ago. Sydney’s hippies are thought to number at least 50 in one sect alone.”
