Considering that around 30% or less of the Aus population would be able to use a squatter, and 100% of the population is able to use a regular dunny, putting squatters anywhere is utterly fkn ridiculous.

I tell you what they are bloody bollocking bastard things if you are a 6ft tall woman in jeans that's for sure!!

And girls if you think blokes are a bad shot you ain't seen nothing yet but of cause you will get the benefit of standing in urine of unknown ownership and having your olfactory senses truly assaulted with the smell- yay And fear not this is not restricted to just the third world countries that have holes in the ground - you get the same wonderful experience in fancy nancy hotels and restaurants - so bound to be as good in a public service building :wink:

Lol at them trying to flog them and their introduction as a " benefit for intestinal health" - just be honest it's to be seen to be inclusive (pandering to a small minority) and an absolute waste of time and money pfftt!

If they're making them mandatory I'd get the outrage, but otherwise a couple of special use toilets in a big office block aren't taking up that much space. Perhaps people from different backgrounds will appreciate it, and at the end of the day nobody else will have to use them. It's really not the end of the world, is it?

This sort of unnecessary expenditure is very capable of causing a toilet-led recession, David.

It is apparently 2 cubicles out of about 120, hardly a massive amount.
In SE Asia they are everywhere. AnO if you are ever in Thailand and stop for a bus break chances are they will all be squat. Except the disabled ones.

I have been forced to use them on a few occasions and they are a disgrace.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has defended giving $5 to a beggar in Melbourne, putting him at odds with the city's lord mayor who says giving money to people on the street entrenches homelessness.
The worlds going nuts.

Some criticised him for being stingy and not giving more, others criticised him for giving anything. If he had ignored him, he would have copped it for that.

Judge sympathises with Children's Court guard who had sex with 'worldly' 14-year-old

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/judge ... qwl8y.html

THIS bit really made me go WTF!!

He was charged with having sex with her once more in August 2015, after police advised him that she was actually 14 and living in a Department of Human Services-run residential care unit.

And then the judges comments :shock:

Yeah, the one after he knew she was 14 is the deal breaker.

The judge is seriously out of touch.
