Brendan Clark of Victory Metals is losing it again. We posted clear video of his boat speeding
recklessly through the river in that massive boat of his — and now he’s ringing up a friend of the page, wrongly accusing them of being an admin and posting the footage.

According to the person he called, Brendan was dishing out serious legal threats, bragging that he ‘knows bad people’ and warning he’s ‘not someone to be messed with.’ The friend recorded the phone calls for their own legal protection.

Mate, all we want to know is simple: who was actually skippering that huge vessel? You won’t answer a single question about who was driving while you were tearing up the river.
As always, this page and its admins fully welcome any legal action Mr Clark cares to bring.

We actually welcome it.

A boater who was removed from The Perth Flying Squadron due to repeated breaches of boating etiquette — and whose reckless behaviour travelling at 30 knots on the river in a 5 knot no wake zone caused significant damage - estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars — has since been welcomed as a member by the Royal Perth Yacht Club. This is particularly noteworthy given that the same club has publicly opposed the introduction of public ferry services operating through Matilda Bay.

Western Australia’s fiscal position is becoming increasingly contradictory. The State continues to announce operating surpluses, yet net debt continues to escalate year after year — projected to rise from $34.5 billion in 2025–26 to over $44 billion by 2029–30.

A surplus should represent an opportunity to strengthen the balance sheet, reduce liabilities, and build long-term resilience. Instead, the Government is effectively exhausting every dollar of surplus while simultaneously increasing borrowing. That is not disciplined financial management — it is structural expansion of expenditure masked by headline surplus figures.

At a time of elevated living costs and persistent inflationary pressure, continued government spending growth only compounds the problem. When public expenditure accelerates faster than restraint or productivity, the broader economy absorbs the consequences through higher costs, reduced efficiency, and greater long-term debt servicing burdens on taxpayers.

The most concerning aspect is the absence of prioritisation. Rather than pursuing serious structural savings or targeted infrastructure efficiency, the Government continues to favour politically marketable short-term measures. A one-off $100 fuel voucher is economically insignificant for most households and does little to address underlying cost-of-living pressures. In practical terms, it resembles a taxpayer-funded electoral incentive rather than meaningful economic reform.

Even basic infrastructure decisions raise questions around fiscal prudence. For starters, relocating the ferry terminal to RPYC Jetty A could reportedly save approximately $90 million in public expenditure alone. If obvious opportunities for savings of that scale are ignored while debt continues to climb, it becomes increasingly difficult to argue the State is genuinely committed to responsible financial management.

If debt is not reduced during periods of strong revenue, resource royalties, and operating surpluses, then when exactly will it be reduced?

Despite nearly 2000 public submissions — the majority opposed — the Matilda Bay ferry terminal has been approved. Yet the adjacent Royal Perth Yacht Club already has substantial developed jetties that have grown over the years.
Reusing existing infrastructure at the club site could protect valuable public parkland at Matilda Bay Reserve while improving river transport access for the broader community.
If you support practical solutions that prioritise public space over further private foreshore development, share this Reel widely and add your thoughts in the comments. Should the Royal Perth Yacht Club site be evaluated as an alternative for the ferry terminal?

While Matilda bay is better then Jojos - we can’t ignore the fact that a Terminal on Jetty A at Royal Perth Yacht Club makes much more sense. Huge watercraft already use the jetty, traffic would barely be noticeable and there’s no need for dredging!

Move the Terminal to Jetty A

A large yacht from the Perth Flying Squadron was observed travelling at approximately 20 knots through the 8-knot zone between Fremantle and Point Walter. This incident occurred recently, but similar events have happened multiple times over the years.

This is the same section of river where children regularly sail and row.

At the same time, the Royal Perth Yacht Club has raised concerns about the proposed small electric ferries — vessels that would generate nowhere near the wake created by a yacht of this size and would be operated by experienced, commercially qualified skippers.

Yet a single pass by a vessel from this club has already resulted in snapped ropes, damaged boats and even a broken jetty, with close to a hundred vessels affected and damage totalling almost a million dollars.

If the real concern is safety and large-vessel impact in the bay, consistency would suggest addressing the much larger wake-producing vessels already operating here.

One practical option would be relocating larger craft and establishing a dedicated terminal on Jetty A to better manage vessel movements.

It is difficult to argue risk from smaller ferries while incidents like this continue to occur.y

It has recently come to light that there is a swingers section associated with the Royal Perth Yacht Club. That alone is confronting, but it becomes even more concerning when you consider the number of small children, disabled sailors, families, junior sailors, and members of the public who regularly use the club and the surrounding foreshore.

Adding to this concern are allegations that have circulated regarding predatory behaviour within the club. These are serious claims that, whether proven or not, demand transparency and proper scrutiny. When vulnerable groups such as small children and disabled sailors are involved, even unaddressed allegations should trigger caution, accountability, and independent investigation.

A yacht club presents itself as a family- and community-focused institution, yet appears willing to tolerate adult subcultures while publicly claiming to be deeply concerned about the safety and wellbeing of small children and disabled sailors. That contradiction is difficult to reconcile and raises legitimate questions about priorities and governance.

This hypocrisy is especially clear in the debate around the Matilda Bay ferry terminal. The club has strongly opposed the terminal, arguing it would harm small children, disabled sailors, or the amenity of the bay. If those concerns were genuinely about safety and protection, they must be applied consistently and backed by transparency within the club itself.

If the issue is truly about safety, accessibility, and common sense, then the answer is obvious. The ferry terminal should be located at A Jetty. It is the most practical and least disruptive option, places public transport infrastructure where it belongs, and avoids unnecessary impact on areas used by small children and disabled sailors.

The community deserves consistency and honesty. You cannot claim to be protecting vulnerable people while selectively opposing public infrastructure that benefits everyone, especially when serious and unresolved concerns are being ignored behind closed doors.y

Crazy to watch Royal Perth Yacht Club argue that a small electric ferry will somehow “destroy the bay,” while at the same time celebrating and enabling vessels of a calibre that are absolute monsters — more than double the volume of the ferries they oppose.

If the concern is genuinely about environmental impact, congestion, wake, emissions, or visual scale, then those standards need to be applied consistently. These large private vessels bring a far greater footprint: increased wake energy, servicing and maintenance activity, hardstand use, support craft movements, and ongoing pressure on the bay — all well beyond what a quiet, regulated electric ferry would introduce.

This isn’t about protecting the bay; it’s about protecting privilege. The club can’t credibly claim to act in the public or environmental interest while supporting ever-larger yachts and resisting infrastructure that benefits the wider community.
