Given that the last locally built serries, the Incat built Emeralds, entered service with minimal problems while the oversas built examples had loads of problems, wouldn't be so sure.

I know, RDM did build the Brisbane and I think Captain Cook’s Ferries from memory. I’m just poking fun at how everything she seems to touch seems to turn into a disaster.

I may be cynical, but E2s have not had many reported problems since the election?

Most, but not all, of the disasters to which the transport minister has had to address, were not of her doing. By all means go to town on her when a cock-up occurs after a decision made on her watch, but the problems that have beset region 10, Rozelle Interchange etc were made before her time.

Probably because, as with most teething troubles, they have been ironed out.
