Scooters are already quite regulated. Max speed 25kph (not allowed to be capable of more than that on level ground) Max weight 25kg Max size 125 by 70 by135 cm

https://www.wa.gov.au/organisation/road-safety-commission/erideables The hire ones are all compliant with the regulations.

The hire ones also have GPS in them that is used to determine when they are in pedestrian areas where the speed gets limited to 10kph automatically. Probably not the greatest on narrow streets.

If those are the biggest behavioural issues the author is worried about then I would question if she has ever even caught public transport.

Mass consumption of "low fat" (high sugar) processed food like products?

Still yet to find anything that comes close to the search brilliance of the winamp media library.

I wonder if it would have been possible to have incorporated a slightly larger street circuit in to the future development at the racecourse on the other side of the freeway?

That 20km/host rule is going to make selecting a legal one for personal use a PITA.

A smaller market segment within a small segment.

Trying to get a decent one that doesn't weigh over 25kg is very challenging here in WA.

I imagine they might lose a few supporters under Faruqi or Hanson-Young.

I could be one of them. I've voted green in the lower house based on their policies the last 20 years. Last couple of elections I've held my nose as I did it. Most of their policies I still like. Some of their politicians not so much. I wish they would stop generating so many media sound bytes on social justice issues.

As a fan of wagons, yes it sucks that there are so few left to buy.

The European manufactures still sell wagons here. But $$$

There is also still the WRX wagon.

Vehicles with a front height that's above the average adults waist height should be given automatic zero stars for vulnerable road user protection rating.

Anything with a zero rating should be restricted from being driven while on probation. They should also attract a special extra registration fee.

The fact that at the moment some high fronted child crushers can get 5 stars is a damming indictment of ANCAP.

Liberal senator Alex Antic, however, echoed Rinehart’s argument.

“Presumably, the left wing of the party will find new and ­inventive ways to postulate that we must lean further left to succeed,” he said. “The truth is that the party has spent too long pandering to the false narratives of net zero, globalisation and mega immigration.”

What a daft cunt, the liberals under Howard massively increased immigration. He speaks if the libs donors from the real estate lobby and the business council would let them touch immigration!

And as for Gina opening her mouth in an anti immigrant direction... The same one who wanted to bring in migrants for her mine? SMH. https://www.actu.org.au/media-release/rinehart-plan-to-offshore-australian-jobs-shows-worlds-richest-woman-cares-only-for-profits/

The sky propaganda said this after the last election, the libs put Dutton as leader and did just that. Historic loss for them.

Again they are saying it now. I look forward to the libs following the advice more and getting reduced to a minor party.
