Magnetic Island residents were surprised to receive not one but three messages in quick succession on July 22 from Fantasea Cruising drawing attention to the need for the recipient to update registration of their Queensland driving licence with an island address to be eligible for the "Island Resident Discount ". The terms and conditions should also be read , signed and returned for the file within 14 days or there would be no discount for the car ferry .
The first two messages contained the personal email addresses of a number of people .This was followed by a recall without the bank of original recipients . One address had been for a Cairns airconditioning company...on Magnetic Island ? Right now there is growing concern about the failure of companies to guarantee privacy of information- Telstra , Federal government health records the latest.
In its emails , Fantasea said it is a private company with a strict policy for any discounts provided to make sure it is not abused. It seems its policy for protecting customers' email addresses is not so strict , leaking .
The waterfront roundsman also reports that the asbestos warning sign at the front of the Breakwater Sealink ferry passenger terminal is still missing, which somebody in the local media should follow up . It had been on the port asbestos register for years , started to peel , vanished , leaving its metal base streaked with adhesive ; what has happened to the warning sign ...not regarded as desirable next to newish large ferry travel posters ?
Meanwhile , when not engaged in R and R at Molly Malone's Irish Pub , the thirsty S(h)ipping Reporter , the only one north of Whakarewarewa, has revealed he is working on several other marine scoops with pix.
