Well, it can also radiate away in the form of EM radiation, typically infrared. That takes time though.

Technically it applies if you don’t see them, but I think that would be a pretty good defence.

Where I live, you have to slow down if kids are in the school zone regardless of the time or date.

You have to ask politely. At least say please.

You know the old saying, ‘Get a job doing the thing you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life!’?

That’s really bad advice. Get a job doing something you like, but not your passion. If you burn out on your passion, you’ve lost the thing that brings you joy.

Sure, there is a federal ministry.

This sort of issue would be handled at the state level though. Every state (and territory) has its own Ministry of Education (or equivalent) and things like this would be handled that level.

If we’re talking about seven schools, the jurisdiction most likely affected is the Australian Capital Territory. My own state, South Australia, has over 100 affected sites.

The Australian Ministry of Education? Surely this would have been one of the state ministries, wouldn’t it?
