Episode Details

CityCat ferry crews are striking this Saturday—right during Brisbane’s massive Riverfire festival—leaving thousands stranded without river transport. The standoff stems from unresolved disputes over fatigue, safety, and workload, not just pay. Crews demand guaranteed 12-hour breaks, better weather protection, and full meal breaks amid record passenger numbers fueled by cheap fares. The union warns that fatigue is a serious safety risk, while RiverCity Ferries hasn’t responded to their claims. With ferries out, authorities urge travelers to plan ahead: buses, trains, and free post-fireworks rides will be the only options for getting around the city center.
