I will be meeting with Mr Dawkins and with other State and Territory education Ministers at the Australian Education Council meeting in December, where further discussion will take place on the issue of a national assessment system.
Ministerial Advisory Council on Employment

Mr Stevenson may have some specific case in mind that I am not aware of, but it is my understanding that restrictions on loading zone signs generally refer to, "Loading zone: hours between X am and Y pm", and if people are going to park in that loading zone within those specified hours - - -
