Wait, Australia, the place notorious for dangerous critters, made small, public enclosed spaces…Without doors? 😂 I’m guessing these were mainly in cities, so maybe the critter problem wasn’t as much of a concern, but I love the image this produces of an Aussie going to make a call and some snake or spider is sitting there around the phone.
Comment on Was it possible to get locked in a telephone booth?

Would you rather be inside with the dangerous critter? Particularly if they thought they were cornered, and became aggressive.
People tend to be quite tetchy about having a spider land on them while they’re driving. Having one fall on them after they’ve just shut themselves into the phone booth may result in both abject terror, and casualties.

A “porta-potty” to Americans; not a relative of the vindaloo.

Any curry dish is a relative of the porta-potty to me.
