"A New South Wales Senate inquiry into public toilets is underway, looking into
the provision, design and maintenance of public toilets across the state.

Whenever I mention this inquiry, however, everyone nervously laughs and the
conversation moves on. It’s not something people feel comfortable talking
about.

Yet, a public toilet goes to the heart of what a city provides for its
inhabitants and visitors. It is a critically important piece of public
infrastructure that sets the tone for public behaviour, expectations and
conduct.

And we could be doing so much better with our public toilets."
