Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison has joined the debate over gender-inclusive toilets.

Liberal Senator Claire Chandler could be dragged before the Tasmanian Anti-Discrimination Commission after saying women's toilets were for people of the female sex and should remain that way.

Morrison said there was nothing wrong with her comments.

He says its common sense and he would urge a more common sense approach on how some of these agencies operate.

Last year, the Australian Prime Minister criticised a gender-inclusive toilet sign on display in his department, describing it as political correctness and over the top.

The sign encouraged staff to use the bathroom that best fit their gender identity.

Morrison said the sign was not necessary and vowed to "sort it out".
