Action speaks louder than words
We'll do this and we'll do that, and nothing or very little gets done.
We'll build a Rail line here, or a Metro there, and what happens?
We'll get tough on crime ............... etc.
When Peter Olsen sends out a media release saying he going to do something, it happens.

This is one of the four at the school.
A flashing light always attracts attention and when these lights are flashing it's school zone time.
By all accounts Peter's lights at Balgowlah Helghts Public School were well received by local residents and media alike.
Peter was all over the media today outlining what he wants to do with his flashing lights to make it safer for school children outside schools and also helping make drivers aware of exactly WHEN it's school zone time.
This is how Channel Nine saw the light.

The RTA will argue that they are rolling out school zone lights at no cost to the tax payer because the funding comes out of revenue collected by speed cameras at school zones.
So people that cruise through a school zone like the one at Beverly Hills, at 4 in the morning, a deserted (at that time of day) three lane divided road,is hammered into paying for the few flashing lights that are installed.
Peter can install flashing lights at all schools by involving local businesses through them sponsoring his flashing lights.
Motorists would see the flashing lights, slow down and instead of paying a fine be happy with the fact "Joe the Fruiterer " sponsored the lights.
A win for the driver, and a win for Joe.
Which school will get the next set of Olsen lights?
