Bus seat belts on every bus still years away: SA Govt.

Bus seat belts on every bus still years away: SA Govt. :

"The South Australian Government says it could be several years before every state school bus is fitted with seat belts."

When we spend so much money on military stuff and cannot find the money for seatbelts on kids' buses, then yes, I think we have our priorities wrong. It will cost a lot of money. We want the seat belts to keep our children safe. There is nothing wrong with that. It's why we wear seatbelts in cars. They save lives. That is all the argument you need. The cost is going to have to be a shared cost ,as far as I'm concerned. There has to be a way we can raise the money. We raise large sums for other initiatives and if we want seatbelts, then let's get a bit of togetherness going. The news said it would take 30 years to fit out all the buses. That is ludicrous and hopefully in 30 years we'll be doing more of a Jetsons than a bumpy ride on unsealed tracks. Come on...SA is great , isn't it?! Brilliant?! They were talking about kids not wearing them. Well, why not get the kids to be part of the solution so they own the problem. That's a common headset isn't it? Stop stalling and get fund raising.
