That's just typical of these left-wing commie Aussies!
They deliberately design all their toilets to swirl to the left like
all true toilets should, just to confuse the US tourists.
I have heard a rumor that the US embassies in Australia have imported
their toilets from the US so that their staff and visitors can have
the comfort of a true right-wing swirl. Ooooh! Ecstasy!
