[Gilligan]

In the grand tradition of Britain’s Boaty McBoatface, Australian authorities are christening one of the ferries crossing Sydney’s world famous harbor Ferry McFerryface, but some union workers aren’t amused.

“The transport minister is demonstrating here that he treats public transport as a joke,” Garrett told 2GB radio.

Three of the other five new ferries have already been given more traditional names in honor of luminaries including heart surgeon Victor Chang, ophthalmologist and humanitarian Fred Hollows and obstetrician and gynaecologist Catherine Hamlin.

Wow, someone takes themselves a bit too seriously.

Who the hell hasn't gotten the word to NEVER let the internet name ANYTHING, EVER?

Wow, someone takes themselves a bit too seriously.

If the transport minister said 'I like apples' the union boss would have come out with a disapproving statement. It's just what you do if you are a union boss.
