  • Good work undermined, says ACOS
    The shipping industry is not in a position to bear the additional costs that the current situation on the Sydney waterfront is imposing on it, according to the chief executive of the Australian Chamber of Shipping Ltd, John Jenkins.
    Mr Jenkins told DCN yesterday the situation had resulted in extensive waiting time for a berth and extremely low working rates when alongside.
    This, in turn, affected forward schedules and working arrangements in other ports, he said.
    "Notably it is Sydney and Sydney only, but the whole of Australia is affected," Mr Jenkins said.
  • Govt, Opposition positions still unclear
    With speculation mounting about whether Mark Vaile will retain his Transport and Regional Development Ministry, government sources close to the minister confirmed yesterday he was keen to retain his portfolio.
    Sources said, however, that on the eve of coalition meetings scheduled for today to decide the new ministry make-up, it was impossible to say with any certainty whether Mr Vaile would either be reappointed as Transport Minister or transferred to another portfolio.
    Regarding newspaper reports suggesting that Mr Vaile may swap portfolios with Primary Industries and Energy Minister John Anderson, one source said if that proved to be the case -- given that transport issues were central to much of the policy formulation task in PI&E -- the expertise both ministers had gained would dovetail neatly with their new areas of responsibility.
  • Farmers stiffen Westrail sale opposition
    One of Westrail's biggest freight customers this week stepped up efforts to derail the Western Australian government's proposed privatisation of Westrail's freight division, providing fresh evidence that the state's grain growers vehemently oppose the sell-off.
    The evidence came as new doubts were cast as to whether the sale, first announced by the government in July, would proceed past the investigation stage.
    The Western Australian Farmers Federation said a phone poll run over the weekend, in which more than 550 farmers responded, had found that WA farmers had overwhelmingly voted to oppose the sale.
  • Trawler awaits salvage decision
    Efforts to contain the effects of the oil spill from the sunken trawler Dong Won 529 off Stewart Island will focus on assessing the toll on wildlife, according to the New Zealand Maritime Safety Authority.
    Authority spokesperson Fiona Cassidy said while there had been no reports of wildlife directly affected by the spill, it could take a few days for them to turn up.
    Of particular concern to authorities is the rare Stewart Island dotterell of which only 100 birds remain.
    Bad weather has hampered the search for wildlife casualties, but aerial, boat and foot teams are hoping to scour the area when the weather improves.
