Daniel Andrews Has Revealed The Best Worst Name Ideas For Melbourne’s New Train Stations
Democracy in action.
When Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews sought the public’s help naming Melbourne’s five new underground railway stations, he made it clear that only “sensible” names would be considered. But if you thought that would stop the people from spamming the government with ludicrous suggestions, then you’ve clearly not spent much time around people.
On Friday, Andrews shared some possible names for the new stations, and yes, Station McStationface was absolutely one of them. Other options included Jar Jar Binks Station, Peter Andre Station, and one that was just a bunch of laughing face emojis.
“If you leave it too late to have your say, we could end up with horrors like these,” warned Andrews – although frankly, if naming a public transport hub after Warwick Capper is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.
“Friends don’t let friends get off at Meatloaf Station,” Andrews added. Presumably the double entendre was unintentional.
Jokes aside, one idea that has gained traction with many Melburnians involves names that recognise the state’s Indigenous heritage.
The five new stations are currently slated to open in 2026. Submissions close tonight, so if you want to have your say and/or troll the government you had better get in quick.
