I didn't realise Dickson is even marginal. Last time I was there was just before the last election and I was horrified at the number of Dutton signs in people's front yards. A big chunk of the voting public is boomers on acreage who wouldn't dream of voting Labor.

Getup! made a concerted effort to unseat Dutts at the 2019 election and it was, like most of the other incorrect polling, looking very possible.

He actually ended up getting a swing towards him at the last election, probably due to the contrary nature of Queenslanders and the lecturing by "climate nutbags from down south".

bold part, lol, ok, lets make more barriers to prevent people getting into alternative modes of transport. great idea.

the rest of it, yes, that guy is an rear end in a top hat. it has nothing to do with his mode of transport. you can very easily slow down to a safe (read: walking) speed to pass pedestrians on the footpath. I do it all the time most bikes, electric or not, have brakes would you believe.

I understand where you're coming from about the pedal assist bikes being way more expensive and limiting than DIY jobs

I just reckon a bike with throttle control is more or less a motorbike and shouldn't be on a mup
Dunno how you enforce that kind of thing anyway except posting up a cop by the Yarra trail

Some of those rental e-scooters have appeared in my suburb in Perth and I hate them because the people who hire them just do not have any concept of safety. Personal scooters and e-bikes have been cropping up in steadily increasing numbers but they’re mostly fine since the person usually has some idea of what they’re doing and has a chunk of their own dollars invested in not crashing the loving things. I’m not sure if they even have a bell, never gets used if they do

Hopefully people get less poo poo at using them with time because it’s a good idea to have rental transports readily available but as they are now they’re annoying as gently caress

I know that city of Stirling has started running training courses for these, but yeah, that assumes that people want to learn the rules.

What we really need is 4 lane bikepaths, with a slower left lane for pedestrians and a faster middle lane for the escooters.

If the odds are against Morrisson I think I'm going to chuck $50 on the libs so at least if I have to look at his smug grin post win again I can at least make some cash out of it.

just get a Pro-Tec skate helmet. you can spend $10 more and you get a certified/sticker one. they are $80 and dont look anywhere near as try-hard/daggy as cycling helmets.

I have a poo poo looking mips helmet because I care more about avoiding brain damage than how I look going to work.

they didn't, the trend line in the graph freebooter posted just smoothed things out too much. look at early 2020 - labor are clearly ahead in the individual polls.

there's a different polling aggregate here where you can see labor's lead in early 2020 much more clearly on the graph.
