Three years planning to sink a boat in 10 minutes. Classic govt efficiency right there 🙄

Hayden Kelly2026-06-18T19:22:27.000Z

whatever, still a waste of time

Lowkey impressive though. Bet the fish are loving the new artificial reef.

Grace Patel2026-06-18T19:44:27.000Z

Pretty cool for marine life actually. Beats leaving it rotting in some port.

Those blokes could've just punctured the hull and saved everyone time. 10 mins my arse.

Bet there's some health and safety paperwork longer than the boat itself. Ffs.

It's not just about sinking it m8. Environment permits, explosives protocols... takes ages.
