Queensland
In Queensland, the Lolly Pop Ladies are supplied by the Transport Dept to man the
school crossings. They are funded only if 45 children, or more, per day use the
crossing. The catch is they must walk across the crossing unaided by a parent or guardian! If they are aided, they don't count and the funding can be withdrawn!
(the QLD goverment is quite stupid so something like that isn't particulary suprising)
