As inflation and mortgage pain bites, Harris Park’s Indian community turns to street shitting to save on water bills

Indian communities in Australia’s mortgage belt have been forced to turn to street shitting to save on water bills, in an effort to combat rising inflation and cost of living pressures.

With migrant communities deeply impacted by rising mortagages and inflation, street shitting has made itself known in Sydney’s west and has also spread it’s cheeks to Melbourne’s Indian population.

“The recent Diwali celebrations in the Melbourne CBD showed that somewhere needs to designated, it was just people squatting everywhere and we were massively underprepared. Bourke Street was knee deep in shit for a week afterwards,” Melbourne Mayor Sally Capp said.

“Migrants are really hurting on massive mortgages so we should be looking at ways to alleviate them as best we can. The smell is nothing dissimilar to what you’d smell in the Melbourne CBD.”

Not to be outdone, there were further calls by Capp for Tarneit to have Australia’s first ever designated streets for Indians to shit in 24/7.

“It would be a celebration of our wonderfully multicultural, diverse and vibrant society.”
