OHS Rules-- and paralyses

From Andrew Bolt:


War is fine, but a jeep is too dangerous


And war is completely ruled out for OHS reasons:


OCCUPATIONAL health and safety rules mean there will be no Defence Force vehicles in Adelaide’s Anzac Day parade for the first time on Sunday…


War veterans are being stopped from riding in army Land Rovers due to the risk of injury and legal action under new occupational health and safety rules…


Defence said yesterday: “The commander believed that the army vehicles were not the most appropriate for veterans and elderly to step in and out of. Therefore it was decided that on this occasion the request from the RSL would be declined. The amended OH&S Act has resulted in the liability being placed on the commander and the Commonwealth should any injuries occur.”
