George John, a 67-year-old pensioner on Kangaroo Island, faces a staggering $60,000 bill to retrieve his stranded boat, a 45-foot steel cabin cruiser, from a beach where its been stuck for over 18 months. After hitting a sandbank in August 2024, Marine Safety SA failed to provide a plan, leading to further damage and Johns deteriorating mental health. Despite the Ombudsmans ruling, the Department of Infrastructure and Transport still holds John responsible for recovery, leaving him in a dire situation.
