North-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Nick McGOWAN (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:45): (1555) My question is to the Minister for Public and Active Transport. Minister, the simplest basic human function requires a toilet. My community and those communities who use Ringwood East train station lack the facility at times for the simplest human function because of the classification of the train station. I have implored you and the Premier and four other collective ministers to do what is right and allow for a toilet for those with a disability. Ringwood East train station is not staffed, but there is a staff toilet. So in a world where the Allan government is absolutely sensible and provides a toilet for staff when there are no staff but does not provide a toilet for real people who actually use the station: Minister, when will you commit to at least transforming the staff toilet at Ringwood East train station into a public toilet and then reclassifying it to a premium station? If you make people hang on too long, it might be you and the Premier who have to urgently go.
The PRESIDENT: That is the use of a prop. I do not want to ask another question about it. I just want to put the chamber on notice that you have had your one whack at it – next time you will have an early lunch.
