Staff won’t work on ‘stupid’ Ferry McFerryface

Democracy at work!
Maritime staff will refuse to work on Sydney’s newest harbour vessel, which was named Ferry McFerryface following a public poll.
The name was selected from 15,000 entries received on the Name Your Ferry website.
But Maritime Union of Australia spokesperson Paul Garrett says the “stupid” name shows the Transport Minister is taking the mickey out of public transport in NSW.
Paul told 2GB he could not understand why Sydney Harbour should suffer a “second-hand joke from the UK”, and that staff would refuse to work on the vessel.
The winning name was actually Boaty McBoatface, but there is a British vessel with the same name, so the next most popular name was selected – Ferry McFerryface.
Ferry McFerryface will join other ferries in the harbour, which are named named after iconic Australian people and locations.
