Just a thought but maybe the government should look into who is at fault in most pedestrian accidents. Anyone who has driven in a city at lunch time or at about 5pm will know of the groups of lemming brains who stand on street corners waiting for one of the group to attempt to cross the road (usually against the large red flashing "DON'T BLOODY WALK" sign). Once one of the group goes they all go because they expect the car to stop for them. Sometimes the car can't stop and we get Darwin's theory of natural selection at its best.
I agree that suburban vehicles don't need bullbars, especially the Mosman Marauders but maybe some more road education for pedestians and drivers is needed as well. Everyday we read of pedestrian fatalities in the papers but rarely do they say that the driver was charged.
Also as far as airbags go, the bullbar can cause the airbag to trigger too early or at low speeds such as 10kmh impacts in a car park because the bar transfers the shock to the chassis.
