This was a problem that Capt Arthur Phillip identified when the First Fleet arrived in 1788. He was supposed to establish the settlement on the shores of Botany Bay, but he decided it wasn't suitable - lack of fresh water, poor soils and a shallow bay that was exposed to bad weather.

Captain Arthur Phillip didnt like it but Royal Caribbean does.

Not to mention toxic sludge.😋

Mic how do you think Royal Carribean will make a profit out of the toxic sludge?

A penny for your thoughts.

They would have to upsell it somehow.

If Rod has his way, Royal will never get to the toxic sludge to start with. But if they do, I see it being used in the Spa for defoliating agents in face masks and body scrubs.

Makes sense. They administer botox on the ships, which is a poison, as long as they can upsell this too.

This view is good in showing the direct route the swells from the seas could be an issue. Would a break-wall be needed?

 

yes it would and it would go according to the maritime union of Australia right near bare island and maybe past it...  the swells there in summer can reach over the 2 mtrs at times the average is about 1 to 1.5 mtr .. the current container break wall is around ten mtrs high and I have seen swell crash almost over it in summer . also it would all have to be dredged as most of that place is very shallow  due to sand being washed in by under currents .. the turning basin needs to be 440 mtrs from the dock ..  for a ship tof oasis class and bigger  362 mtr ships … it would have to be at least  min 11.5 mtrs deep in the whole turn around basin ..

Funnily enough, John Kennedy believed in progress and advancement... which building new infrastructure like this is.

 

I'm sure he'd endorse this.

You never mention the millions of dollars, probably billions,  the cruise industry brings to Sydney through the myriad of businesses that provide goods and services  to the passengers and ships that visit here or doesn’t that suit your agenda? 
 And still you have produced the  evidence to  support your claim that it is only Royal Caribbean that wants the terminal and will support it it financially.

I think you have the wrong speech:

JFK and the environment

 

His views on the environment were complex. He did believe in having open natural places for urban people to enjoy but he was also did believe in development though most of the development were about dams and electric generation so who knows how he would have prioritised a cruise terminal.

It does have to said that mega ship passengers on average spend less on land than those of smaller ships.

No wonder some of your arguments are a little skinny on fact or relevance.
