Rememberence Rest areas or Shameful, disgusting rest areas?

The other tragic thing is they are breeding

Harry.

I feel really frustrated that, Firstly, these facilities and the rest areas are part of a project to honour these VC winners yet the RTA appear not to clean, maintain or repair these facilities and Secondly, the grubs/animals that have no respect for these VC winners, or the facilities put there for their use.

I written to the RTA and will post their reply, if and when I receive one.

I have also written a letter to the Editor of the Telegraph.

I won't hold my breath waiting for any response.

A lot has to do with when these places are cleaned.

Over the Christmas period the rest areas around here leave a lot of the desired, and they are not cleaned over the holiday period simply because local councils usually have the contract, and all the buggers are on leave.

You don't have to be a brain surgeon to know that a lot of people travel over the Christmas period, yet, the morons who run councils and the R.T.A. couldn't give a stuff.

I'll bet here and now, that if I went to the rest areas at Springs Creek, Dolo Hill, MacCullochs Range on the barrier Highway, where there are toilets, there would be no loo paper and they would be disgusting.

I've written to the Minister for Local Governmdent, the Minister for transport in N.S.W. about this in the past. You get the usual politicians propaganda, and nothing happens.

Please BooBoo post back orif this thread gets archived post in another if or when you get a reply, be interest hear what spin they put on it.
The grub that do this, know they either wont get caught or the court will be not give a harsh enough penalty to deter them.
Also, what about bring this to the attention of someone who is involved within the Armed forces who is passionate about VC recipients, I don't know what the right wording or phrase is about this kinda thing.

Cheers.

I'm normally an easy going bloke, but this ahs really ticked me off.

I will definately post any reply I get.

Tomorrow the RSL And my local Federal MP will hear from me.

Thanks for the support.

Yes I agree,
But unfortunately this program is being cut back.
Weekend detention from Grafton has been cut back to nothing, cuts to save $$$. Apparently it is called home detention now, unsupervised.
Grafton use to have a gang of three guards and the prisoners would mow pensioners lawns, preschools and community parks not under council control.
They first stopped mowing the preschools, because the prisoners would know where 'Children were', then they stopped mowing the community parks, because 'it was taking work away from employed people' WT???
Now they have stopped mowing the pensioners lawns, It is cheaper for them to do home detention( No Guards to watch them, no mowers to maintain or vehicles to run)

But I agree with you, put prisoners to use for the community that they have committed a crime against.

You would probably find that there is a budget for the cleaning works already in place & there are 2 problems.
One is the person responsible is a slacker & not doing their job to the description. This is a problem in my local area with the regional council public toilets. One towns public toilets are disgusting, but the neighbouring town, under the same regional council, has exceptionally clean toilets. Same budget per unit. Just different managers & cleaners. One takes pride in their job & the other is a slacker & no body above the slacker checks his work. Got to get out of the aircon to do that.
Or secondly the budget is not big enough to cover the work required. To many admin workers are to lazy to get off their fat dates & do the job they are paid to do. All to easy to pass the buck in government instead of getting in & doing the paper work to get the budget up to scratch to achieve acceptable outcomes.
My observation of some of these government departments is that staff are more worried about passing the buck & checking how their super is going, or worrying about who is on & who is off the committee or who is in & who is out.
I have been transporting government workers around for 25 years & the longer I do it for the less respect I have for their positions over all. It's not very often you find one who is actually passionate or seem committed to their job like you do for most other types of workers.
We, collectively as taxpayers, are paying for these toilets to be properly maintained. Not to have shit left splattered all over them. Not to have no facilities to wash your hands. Basicly we are not paying for facilities where a man would leave these facilities & go down the road & dig a hole for his children & wife to shit in.
You can blame the grubs that foul these facilities. But our contract is with the administrators & they are the ones paid to provide clean facilities to us.
And paid quite handsomely too.

That's my rant on this subject.
I hate filthy toilets & despise overpaid lazy public servents.

Sorry I should have also added that in my opinion only a minor percentage of the population are toilet trained. This percentage reduces when alcohol is added to the equation.
It is no use comparing these filthy below acceptable standard toilets with ones that are clean. The same filthy un toilet trained grubs are using both sets of toilets.
It's just that one set gets less maintenence than the other.

Mannus is not far from here and each year for a couple of weeks before the local show a few of those inmates come to volunteer their services unguarded. I have had to manage a few as I was employed to do the same thing. They did call me Hitler a few times. Were even less impressed when I use to do the same job they were doing (and i'm disabled)

It is not just the road side loos that animals use. When was the last time you went to one in a supermarket/mall? They are cleaned daily, yet people think this is the place not to flush, lift the seat, miss the bowl etc. Makes you think what their own home is like.
Cleaners have also told me that womens toilets are alway worse than mens. Never seen a womans toillet, but judging what I have seen in the mens, it must be terrible.

hi all
the same thing has happened in wa both north and south of bunbury at beaches near new tiolet blocks have been dirtied by what i have named two legged turdhouse rats
sorry to have to use that term on here but
there is no other suitable word to descibe the way these filthy animals spread excreta and urinate around inside the amenities
they have also burnt several tiolet blocks down to the ground after being rebuilt at great expense
i have often wondered what the houses are like where these pigs live
because none of them appear to have
ever been toilet trained in any way or form they are completely ferral

There is a very well maintained Remembrance area for Vietnam diggers in Muswellbrook .

From what I understand it is mainly looked after by volunteers from the Muswellbrook RSL.

I spoke to a few blokes down the street this afternoon (one from Muswellbrook) and he spotted the President of the club with his cleaning gear at the toilet a few days ago.

It can be done I suppose,,, it just needs commitment from the local community..

Although my main beef is the names of VC winners should not be associated with the current disgusting areas. If they were maintain to a reasonable level it would be OK. But like some have already said,,Families of these heroes would be very disappointed and embarassed to see their family name in these places.

NOT IDIOTS they are filthy ANIMALS

*clarify - I wasn't cleaning toilets from '88 to '03, that was when my parents owned it, they were also managing on site for the first 6yrs, I cleaned toilets for pocket money while finishing school for the first few years.

If you documentary concentrated on the Remembrance Drive rest areas then I would be happy to be involved.
