BTW, the PM wants states to allow children (under 18s) to drive forklifts to ease staff shortages.
This is undoubtedly what will happen.
I mean, teens are capable of doing a lot of things, but operating heavy machinery shouldn't be on the list, seeing as how someone got killed in a forklift accident just this Tuesday.
What's funny is that everyone else over 18 in the warehouse/factory will then have to apply for a Working With Children Check if they'll be supervising.
@vozoto bingo. It's not that I don't believe teens under 18 are not capable of doing the job, I know they are, I've just seen some terrible things between working ER, agricultural accidents in my own family and working contract for years for OSHA. There is a huge possibility that they would be taken advantage of.

When I was in HS in the late 70s, students drove school buses.
