"That's a response to public feedback, but also we're not opening them now until midnight.
"Residents have been saying that they find it offensive to see someone toileting because you can still see the heads and legs of people.
"There's also been the problem of some ladies using them, and they're not designed for ladies."
However, he said it was less of a problem for women as they mostly used toilets in a nightclub before they left the premises.

Wait a minute. It says that they are "Open-Air urinals". A urinal is for urine only, correct? How come the guy in the Santa hat has his pants down around his ankles? Someone is making a big mess, and not only that, urinals don't have toilet paper available. Yuck.
What so you expect from the Aussies. They drink beer constantly.
In Germany, they still had large troughs open on both sides to maximize access.
Oh, my...how'd they like they like the uni-sex water closets in Korea...at least many were when I lived there. Nobody made a fuss. Many public lavatories back then merely had "W.C." on the door, in both English and Hangul.
That said, out on the block might be a bit much. What Allen said about the guy with his pants down...yuk indeed :-)
this is just a step up from the barbarians just pissing and shitting in the streets. Way to keep up traditions Australia.
No pee pee No peace!
Let's have a pissing contest!
Boys vs. the girls!
Note the absence of anyplace to wash hands afterwards, not even hand sanitizer.
Yeesh.
Was there some compelling reason not to put a simple hut around the urinals?
A proper Paris pissior discourages peeing on buildings and provides a target wall that also serves as a modesty screen, the modesty in question being that of any passers-by who might care. The guy doesn't.
I guess modesty is a foreign concept to the Aussies.
These are in the middle of plazas in Amsterdam, and not with no pansy-ass plastic half-curtain, neither. I think they primarily use them around 12:30 - 3:45 AM, when everyone's too wasted to find anything more discrete.
Americans are such wussies. So afraid of anything natural.
