A few years ago the higher ups in Germany had the great idea that sand was damaging the rails and not realy needed for ice and snow, because of the great anti slipping tech trains have, so the new trains would not have sand.
Then wet leafs started falling on the rails. Snow and ice, yeah computer controlled braking and accelleration can deal with that. Wet leafs? What kind of unknown sorcery is that?

Funnyly enough there is a different reason for sand in trains here in germany, although it still has to do with braking.
In autumn leaves drop everywhere and gunk up the rails, causing the braking efficiency to be almost absent. To counteract that sand is blasted from parts of the train to remove the leaves from the tracks as you brake.

My dad has kitty litter in his car for this same reason. We live in a rural area so when it snows, it's hard to drive due to the hills. Kitty litter also soaks up oil. He works in a kitchen and he emptied the fryer once and forgot to put the bucket under.... Oil went everywhere so he went to his car and grabbed the litter, he said it worked well!

I’ve never been to Australia, but I’ve wondered about this for years since my local public transit has it too. My favorite place to sit has always been the seat with the box of sand under it. You can feel the sand moving around when the train rocks back and forth.
Thanks for answering a question I’ve had for years!
