'How would you like it?' One Nation's Rod Roberts about no change rooms at Singleton fire station

OLD AND THE NEW: The century-old Singleton Fire Station and crew member Megan Worth, one of two women among a dozen men in Singleton's crew of retained firefighters, pictured in 2020. They change inside, next to the truck.

ONE Nation MLC Rod Roberts has blasted the NSW government over the state of Singleton Fire Station, asking his fellow parliamentarians to "imagine the uproar in this building if males and females were forced to change in front of each other and to share bathroom facilities".

The Newcastle Herald has learned that Singleton has had women firefighters for more than 20 years, with staff saying calls to provide dedicated change rooms have fallen on deaf ears on numerous occasions.
