NSW Transport Minister, Jo Haylen, said the Labor government wants to bring back Freshwater-class ferries to replace the Emerald-class ferries.

“These ferries are like rubber ducks, bobbing up and down around Sydney harbor,” said Chris O’Keefe.

Since August 2020, the Emerald-class ferries have had 52 recorded faults.

“I’ve asked the Department of Transport to act NOW,” Minister Haylen told Chris.

“The Minns Labor government will use future ferries, made right here, to get a better product and create jobs.”
