Shipping Australia have an annual ball, again: TWO hundred shipping industry people attended the SAL annual ball at Parliament House, Sydney on September 11. The event was hosted by leader of the Nationals Andrew Stoner and sponsors were Sydney Ports, Svitzer, Patrick, Newcastle Port Corporation, Newcastle Stevedores, Port Kembla Port Corporation, ACFS and Tiger Containers. A great time was had by all according to reports, helped by the fact that each and every attendee received a gift of some sort. Entertainment included a band and an exotic Latin dance company.
Wharfies don pink hats for cancer: MORE than 400 Sydney wharfies at the Patrick Terminal at Port Botany were last week kitted out in hot new pink hard hats bearing the McGrath Foundation logo, proving once and for all that real men do wear pink.
