I have used the key in Sydney, the Blue Mountains and other places.
The key is great as you can use the toilets any time and they are clean and not misused.
Because one person in the last 10 years had troubles, why are is the community penalised?
This person should know that this is needed as I expect it it used in his area. Please keep the key.

MINUSCULE REPRESENTATION
Only eight of the 93 electorates and consequent Members of the NSW Legislative Assembly are located west of the Great Dividing Range.
Further, all the flood irrigation is located in only two of these electorates, being Murray and Barwon.
NSW is overwhelmingly dominated by the urban population and politicians of Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong.
As has been evident over the last number of years, it doesn't matter what speeches, presentations or delegations are made, or even what Members of Parliament are elected, the reduction of the irrigation, timber and other natural resource based industries continues.
This reduction is not due to problems in these industries, but is actually due to the problems in NSW politics.
The painful truth is that NSW is increasingly opposed to these industries, and due to country NSW's miniscule representation in Parliament, there is nothing the people in this area can do about it.
The people in the Riverina need to separate politically from NSW.
The water, timber and other resources within this area will be under the authority of this new State and will be used in the manner most beneficial to its own people.
Self governance will ensure that the people and population in the Riverina prospers and grows.
The sooner the Riverina State is formed, the wealthier and happier we will all be.

CAN GOVERNMENT CONTROL CLIMATE CHANGE?
There is so much discussion on climate change by so many people and the recent events of drought, bushfires and flooding rains that has flooded NSW towns and the city of Sydney and the Warragamba Dam spilling over.
How many days has that dam spilled, 24 gigalitres every 24 hours?
That Australia has to become a net zero emissions economy, by doing away with coal fire power stations and using the friendly solar panels that have a life expectancy of 25 years and the wind turbines, if there is no wind, no power.
When one goes back in history, history has a habit of repeating itself.
In the drought of 1938 and 1939. Griffith farmers were protesting on their water allocation, the Murrumbidgee River nearly ran dry, the rain came in March flooding Yenda, Yoogali and Griffith went under.
In 1888 to 1894 were good years, then the big drought of nine years 1895 to 1903.
The drought was over most of NSW, northern Victoria and southern Queensland.
The NSW Government of the day had to come up with a plan to drought proof our nation with the construction of Burrinjuck Dam.
Between 2001 to 2010, another nine years of drought and then the floods of 2012 over most of NSW, Victoria and Queensland.
The big question that governments on both sides should answer, how are government's going to control climate change by doing away with coal fire power stations, when the world has volcanos spewing out lava, earthquakes, cyclones, and the moon controls the sea and the sun gives the world four seasons.
