Public access to fireworks and their use in Western Australia was banned in 1967 due to pressure from the medical fraternity and parents concerned about the number of injuries, particularly to children, that were occurring each year.

Stupidity, lack or parent supervision and inadequate legislation to prevent children purchasing fireworks capable of blowing a hand off caused this ban.

Did the majority have a say !!!
