Ringwood East train station

Nick McGOWAN (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (10:17): No week would be complete of course without some reference to the toilet at Ringwood East train station, and a number of weeks ago – in fact two weeks ago – I did write to the minister for transport because one of the reasons given for not having a toilet there is that the train station is not staffed. You would guess at my surprise when I learned there is actually a staff toilet there, so I have offered to the minister in writing to pay to change that sign to make it a public toilet. So that is still with the minister, and I would welcome her response. I will literally pay for the sign to be changed. Instead of saying ‘staff toilet’, it can say ‘public toilet’, because why would you need a staff toilet at a train station that is unstaffed?
