Get as many people as possible - residents - commuters - to write to smhletters@smh.com.au saying why you want the ferries to stay and to not be privatised (which is essentially what an eoi for a heritage tender is). Don't respond under the save our ladies banner. Get as many individuals to point out the obfuscation - Transport for NSW are privatising the oldest ferries and not keeping them on their iconic routes. The more who write from different walks of life the better. We must keep the issue alive by having a quick and multiple voiced protest movement today.
