Episode Details

Brisbane parents are sounding the alarm over crumbling school bathrooms, with kids avoiding toilets altogether—leading to dehydration and even medical emergencies. At Graceville State School, outdated, smelly facilities and broken plumbing have sparked a 1,400-signature petition demanding urgent upgrades. Despite state funding and past reports acknowledging poor conditions, the government says schools must self-manage repairs—leaving families furious they’re being ignored. The crisis isn’t isolated: Sherwood State School faces similar neglect, including leaking roofs. With no immediate fixes and a statewide maintenance backlog dating back to 2015, students are paying the price—literally—with their health and dignity on the line.
