[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 172065, member: 1991"] If fireworks are illegal, then the safety message to the kids is to not break the law. it's as simple as that. I'm not certain, but I think I remember there was a curfew. We weren't supposed to set them off before sunset, and I think we had to stop by 10 pm. I'm not sure, though. ANd if there was a curfew, it would have only been for the couple of years before fireworks were stopped. First they took any teeth out of them (the bigger and louder ones were the first to simply fail to be available) and then finally, you had to have a licence to buy fireworks AND let them off. We can still have fireworks displays but they have to have permits and be conducted by someone with a licence. And insurance. Fireworks can only be purchased by adults (with ID) and only in one very small part of Australia, around our capital city. Marg [/QUOTE]
