Television reports (also attached) have shown shocking scenes at Warwick Farm train station.
Commuters are dodging syringes, broken glass and human waste just to get to work or school and it\u2019s been that way for months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Families, workers, children and small businesses have been abandoned after three months and multiple complaints made while the Minns Labor Government tinkers around the edges and can\u2019t even say when this problem will be fixed.
The report has also revealed that nurses have been attacked at this car park.
Our police are working around the clock and doing everything they can, but they have been left to carry the burden of a government that refuses to act.
Premier Chris Minns, Transport Minister John Graham, Police Minister Yasmin Catley and Homelessness Minister Rose Jackson have the power to fix this, yet they are nowhere to be seen.
Local Labor MP Charishma Kaliyanda, who once sat on Liverpool City Council and knows these problems better than most, only decided to say something after media pointed it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of working with her Premier, her Transport Minister, her Police Minister and her Homelessness Minister to sort it out, she has chosen to spin the blame.
Leader of the Opposition Mark Speakman said everyday people should not have to walk past needles and human waste to catch a train.
\u201cThe government has the power to fix Warwick Farm but they unable to say when. Delays and spin are all they do, but that doesn\u2019t make the problem go away,\u201d Mr Speakman said.
Shadow Minister for Transport and Roads Natalie Ward said commuters at Warwick Farm have been let down.
\u201cWhat we\u2019ve seen was confronting and shameful. John Graham cannot hide from the reality that people are scared to use their own station,\u201d Ms Ward said.
Shadow Minister for Police Paul Toole said our police are on the ground doing everything they can, but they cannot be left to clean up this mess.
\u201cThey need a government that backs them, not one that goes missing when the community cries out for help,\u201d Mr Toole said.
Shadow Minister for Homelessness Natasha Maclaren-Jones said Rose Jackson talks about tackling homelessness with compassion, yet Warwick Farm shows the truth of her approach.
\u201c\u201cEnough is enough. The homelessness crisis just keeps getting worse under Labor, with more people left to live on the streets, train stations are becoming unsafe, and families are forced to walk their kids past syringes and human waste,\u201d Ms Maclaren-Jones said.
The NSW Minns Labor Government with its local member need to clean up Warwick Farm station, restore safety for residents and commuters, and put an end to Labor\u2019s culture of passing the buck while communities suffer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
