Single service[edit]

What benefit do those calling for a single service suggest it would have? e.g.

Increased efficiency
Improved communication between the services dealing with the coast

What about a australian government coast guard?[edit]

I don't believe the establishment of a government coast guard seperate to the exsisting duties of the Navy, is about merging exsisting services. The volunteer services that are around will continue to offer their services. Of course experienced volunteers would seek employement in a government operated coast guard, australia would never be able to cover the vast amounts of coast we have and government services would most like be based in areas accoridng to population density and amounts of traffic/business. -murphy

Beezeley's Coast Guard Idea[edit]

just beacuase one guy at sydney uni, interpret's the idea of establishing an australian coast guard, to be a push for more police powers doesn't mean that its fact. I agree it is a valid point but it is not an opinion shared by all. An australian coast guard seperate from the exsisting duties of the Australian Navy which include search and rescue, would in reduce the work load of the australian navy and give them more time to do what there equiped to. The coast guard would assist the exsisting volunteer movement and in doing so make australias waters safer. for an idea like that to be turned into some sort paranoia about civil rights, is frankly ludacris. Have a look at canadia, iceland, china, ireland and more other coast guards for shining examples. then search simply wikipedia for the definition of coast guard and what their duties intitle before you worry about being betten up by federal police for looking at look at hightimes.com - imurphy

Relevance.[edit]

This is not a forum for discussing the relative merits of political policies (especially if the discussion is going to be conducted so stupidly).

An issue that is relevant here is that volunteer maritime safety/rescue services have (however pretentious their names) NOTHING to do with guarding a coast. These organisations - and other organisations that do not perform such a function - should NOT be topics in an article that has this title. The information presented here should be elsewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.101.223.88 (talk) 14:14, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

update required[edit]

The three organizations united under Marine Rescue NSW so the entire page needs to be rewritten, leaving mention of the three original organizations only as historical notes. I added a note about unification and a source, but I am not knowledgeable enough to rewrite the article, I hope someone else can take it further, and before the information becomes harder to find. --Muhandes (talk) 07:07, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A second possibility is to change this into "Historical coast guards in Australia" and create Marine Rescue NSW. --Muhandes (talk) 07:09, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
