Nicky, you presented a motion on behalf of the Kindon branch regarding seatbelts on school buses.
00:08
Do you want to tell us what that was about?
00:10
Yes, I did. So the motion that I put forward yesterday was on behalf of Kindon ICPA,
00:16
and it was that ICPA Queensland lobbies all relevant bodies for rural and remote school buses
00:23
to have compelstery seatbelts fitted.
00:24
Our explanation for this was currently Queensland does not require seatbelts to be fitted on school buses.
00:31
However, rural and remote school buses travel long distance each day on rough and deteriorating roads,
00:37
and they pose a significant safety risk.
00:39
To better protect students, it is crucial to implement a policy making seatbelts a standard requirement as soon as possible.
00:46
And you had a bit of supporting information for that, didn't you?
00:48
We did. One of the members of our community wrote to our Member for Parliament,
00:54
Mr. James Lister, who in turn wrote to the Minister for Transport,
00:59
and he sent us back a reply, sent back a reply saying that there was no plans to make it mandatory.
01:08
Seatbelts on school buses are mandatory.
01:12
How do you feel about that?
01:13
Well, it's just not good enough. It's not good enough at all.
01:15
We're expected to tie our dogs up in the back of utes.
01:19
We've got to cover our loads in the back of utes.
01:20
All cars have to be fitted with seatbelts.
01:23
And we have our most precious children on school buses,
01:26
and they don't have to have a seatbelt.
01:29
It's crazy, and we want to see it changed.
01:31
We've got to cover our lives in the back of utes.
