The long awaited National Public Toilet Map has been released in XML
(but not under CC-BY like many reports recommended) @
http://data.australia.gov.au/610

Instead, it's a click through licence that amongst other Proprietary
terms requires anybody with database access to accept these terms
again (but viewing generated map tiles is okay):
"3.2	You may not sublicense your rights under these Terms to any
person. If you require another person to access the Database for the
Permitted Purpose (including a person you engage to design or build a
Derivative Product on your behalf), that person must obtain a copy of
the Database from the www.australia.gov.au website and comply with the
Terms of this licence."

Two steps forward, one step back.
