As a publicly owned, publicly funded organisation they have a duty to serve the public - not to use legal technicalities to screw over hardworking members thereof. I for one am definitely standing in support of the Ngs. And for my own rant - RailCorp is going to add a dedicated freight line on my line so that they can run freight 24 hours a day (like we don't get enough noise already), knock down the existing station, replace it with a demountable, and chop down all the trees along the street. And what do we get in return? Two lift shafts. That's right, not lifts - lift shafts. It seems that RailCorp is deliberately trying to turn the whole state against them.
