The school holidays started yesterday. Every family with kids knows that - because they have the kids at home celebrating - but if they hop in the car and go Christmas shopping an evil fate awaits them !
For reasons that make absolutely no sense school zone speed limits have not been gazetted to end - until 4-30 pm this afternoon - and just to deliver a double whammy - because the Christmas safety blitz has started - double demerit points will apply.
The bureaucracy - or whatever pack of halfwits that make these decisions - have decided that the Friday following the start of school holidays is really" a pupil free day ". The teachers will be there finishing off the year - but no kids !
Now why would any reasonable mother of father expect to be required to obey a school safety regulation when they are aware that no children are still at school - and the holidays started the previous day.
And what benefit is derived by the kids, the school or the public generally by this act of stupidity ?
Just another example of the extent to which efforts are maintained to keep that " revenue raising " juggernaut rolling along !
