We have had our 5 services cut to 3 over the past 15 years or so the last one just 18mths ago. They all talk about money as the reason but I put it to them that the lng projects around the state should be getting massive royalties from them. Put some of that money back into BASIC services. We have had 8 hours a week added to our school week with the school closures and bus run cut backs. I also put it to the Dept that the 3.2km exclusion zone that you have to be outside has never changed in decades . It is that old and unchanged the reason it is 3.2km that that is the metric conversion for 2 miles. Good Luck.

We at Thangool have had our 5 services cut to 3 now over the past 15 years. In the past 35 years we have had 8 hours a week added to the school day with school closures and bus service cut backs. I asked the question why not extend the 3.2km exclusion zone for eligible students for the bus be extended to say 6km. It has not changed for decades and our rules have. It is that old 3.2km zone the reason it is 3.2km is that is the metric conversion from 2 miles. Good luck.

why cancel a bus run that has been going for many years. We always subsidised it all the time why can't this be done again.

Our children deserve to have access to transportation to school, and our hard-working farmers deserve assistance to get their children to school while they produce our food.

Children should not be denied easy access to schooling through policy. All scenarios should be assessed individually and I am sure a solution could be arrived at.

Theodore needs the bus run and the children of the school need safe,daily transport to/from school. This isn't Brisbane or Sydney, Theodore needs the bus run and are entitled to it..
