May be Government can parade their comuter high performance boats around the harbour as inflation has forced many of the other boats to park up on the hard.
I hardly think that we can envision returning to the glory days as Government refer out small boats as a taxable luxury .
How about an electric bus and diesel trailer truck parade with ribbons to parade our national wealth .
That could be something different for a change at a minimal cost .
Has all the fun gone out of our lived theses days ?
