Everyone has a public-toilet story…

“WE all use them. Everyone has a public-toilet story,” Churchill Fellowship recipient and public-toilet enthusiast Katherine Webber tells reporter DANIELLE NOHRA. “If we’re lucky we can laugh about it, but for some people they can’t laugh about it because there can be really serious consequences for not being able to access a toilet.”

Canberra's street cats deserve to live a healthy life, not be killed under laws being introduced next year, argues the Canberra Street Cat Alliance following the release of the ACT government’s cat containment plan, which will involve “controlling feral cats” in an effort to protect the vast amounts of wildlife hunted by the animals. Reporter NICK OVERALL has the story at citynews.com.au
