Was just listening to the news over Traxx FM tonight... and they reported a new Government initiative. School buses will no longer be allowed to operate, even on a temporary basis, as tourist buses, because they don't meet the required safety standards.
Read that again slowly. The tourist buses have higher safety standards than our SCHOOL buses have.
Is it me, or is this just a bizarre ordering of priorities? How on EARTH have we arrived at a point where tourists are worth more to us than our own children?
