Queensland Rail expects commuters on the Sunshine Coast to use platforms infected with wood rotting fungi. Although academics have indicated that there is a strong possibility that the infected platforms will give way, Queensland Rail has deemed them safe for use.

The fungi infect temporary platforms along the Sunshine Coast rail line. These temporary platforms cost eight hundred dollars a week to maintain, however, the continuing presence of the fungi indicates that the maintenance is insufficient. Crews have attempted to repair some of the platforms, however, the fungi persists. The platforms are only intended to have a twelve to eighteen month lifespan and it appears that they are due for replacement.

Queensland Rail claims that safety is their number one priority. If that is truly the case, they must replace the fungi-infested platforms before any injury occurs.

Passengers on the Sunshine Coast train line deserve to be safe. Demand that Queensland Rail replace the affected platforms immediately. 

We the undersigned believe that the fungi-infested temporary platforms along the Sunshine Coast train line should be replaced.

Although you have declared the temporary platforms safe, academics have indicated that there is a strong possibility of the affected platforms giving way. These platforms are only intended to have a twelve to eighteenth month lifespan and the continuing presence of the fungi is a sign that they are due for replacement.

You claim that safety is your number one priority. Please prove that to be the case and replace the affected platforms.
