SQUAT toilets should be considered for new buildings, says a leading pathologist who has had to instruct his staff in correct use of western toilets.
SA Pathology research director Professor Heddy Zola says it is probably time Adelaide acknowledged the cultural needs of its large migrant population.
Squat toilets, also known as Nile pans, are preferred in parts of Asia and Europe.
"In the research environment, the native-born Australian is a rarity," Professor Zola said.
"We do very well with our immigrant population.
"I'm a migrant myself and we do need to accommodate them."
In his monthly research newsletter, he has included a page on "toilet etiquette", which includes a diagram, with a cross through it, of a stick figure standing on a toilet seat.
The instructions also include an appeal not to throw water on the floor.
He said there had been a recurring problem with the state of the toilets in his IMVS building, on Frome Rd.
TELL US: Should more squat toilets be introduced?
At one stage, a PhD student had cleaned up after others to spare the cleaners the task.
"I think it's a mixture of cultural differences and just people not giving a damn about who comes after them,'' Professor Zola said.
He said it would be "sensible" to install squats in new buildings, especially those used by large numbers of migrant students and staff.
"I wouldn't be surprised if in 30 years' time, all buildings had to have both styles,'' he said.
The University of Adelaide has "culturally sensitive amenities" to cater for students and staff from more than 90 countries, a spokeswoman told The Advertiser.
"We have prayer rooms with culturally appropriate ablutions at both Union House and Nexus10 as well as squat toilets in the Ingkarni Wardli building," she said.
"It is important to consider culturally sensitive amenities as part of building development planning.
"Feedback from occupants and visitors alike is invariably positive and it further reinforces the university's values of inclusivity and tolerance."
Flinders University also has installed squat toilets and special washrooms.
UniSA has none but has recognised a problem and placed signs on cubicle doors, asking users not to stand on seats.
The new South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute building on North Terrace does not have squat toilets.
I have seen first hand in the public toilets of a major Sydney Public Hospital the Toilet habits of the Labor Green Loon VOTE People and what they do to normal Toilets as a way of protesting their demands for the imposition of the filth you see above and believe me what you see above would be classed as hygienic by their standards.
I have seen normal Australian toilets trashed by Union / GetUp financed Labor, Green Loon, Cultural Enrichment, Harmony Day Ambassadors, to the extent that they are rendered unusable by Australians in private and public buildings.
Maybe these Labor Green Loon VOTE People and their Progressive apologists are pining for Cholera, Diphtheria, Polio, Diarrhoea,Dysentery,and of course the old "Group Shit" custom of the Middle East.
For Gods sake if this Cultural Enrichment Ambassador,Heddy Zola is the best Adelaide University can come up with in its Pathology Department no wonder people are dying in Hospitals of causes new to Australia.
Just how safe is the Lab he oversees?
"SA Pathology research director Professor Heddy Zola says it is probably time Adelaide acknowledged the cultural needs of its large migrant population."
Its high time Labor Green Loon VOTE People acknowledge that the reason they are here is because they could no longer suffer the Religious Social and Cultural manifestations of whatever nation it was they ran away from,they came here because Australia was NOT like the Godless Shit Hole they decided was not able to produce a standard of living and safety for them and their families and so either illegally entered Australia and asked for shelter or immigrated legally.
Heddy Zola if you and your kind are successful in doing to MY Country what you, your Parents, Grand Parents did to the nation they / you, ran away from, where will you run to next after you and your "Culture" have turned Australia into another third world shit hole?
