One estimate has put the potential benefit of such a device (in terms of reduced societal Harm) as high as $380 million, compared with $123 million for padding the upper interior of the car. This benefit derives from the fact that in a crash, the head strikes objects other than those that could be padded inside the car.

Doesn't mention airbags.
It is better (according to one estimate) than padding, not airbags.
You'd get even better protection by wearing a crash helmet.
And a racing overall, gloves and boots.
And HANS.
Err... 
Aussie government should know damn well no Aussie would ever wear that unless it has Foster's on it in big letters.
