But failures elsewhere will not deter us. We have had Senate Committees enquiring into this so are convinced we know best. That's not important. The government is in charge here, not the Weather Bureau. Well we all know that weather comes mainly from the West.
Umbrellas are too flimsy and unreliable, and raincoats are about to be banned, for obvious reasons.
Only the government can ensure total protection of the entire population. Some parents will, but many parents are irresponsible. Besides, parents are not always in a position to judge the weather, so the government must step in and do the job for them. Well we're mainly about protecting the children, but we all know that many adults are too silly to come in out of the rain, so our measures will help everybody. That's not really our concern.
