Join Freestyle Cyclists and help repeal Australia's unjustified Helmet laws.

Studies have shown cars travel much closer to cyclists wearing helmets, arguably increasing the risk of an accident.

Yes. It's hosed. If nobody is checking in at half the places what's the loving point?

It was super cool to get a text message this morning telling me to monitor for symptoms because I visited a Coles a few days ago and then discovering the NSW state government doesn't feel the need to publicly report that kind of thing anymore.

That combined with ducking into a McDonald's to grab a coffee at 4am and being surrounded by like 50 people who decided to get wasted on weeknight and all hover maskless at the front counter really filled me with a lot of faith people really are doing their best to not make things worse.

Hey, here's a question. Remember when half the country caught fire and we basically lived in an apocalypse for weeks?

What, if anything, has the government done to at least HELP the situation next time

The fund they set up to help victims has collected some interest.

Ah cool, I thought you meant people are fed up and no longer want to check in.

But yeah, I feel as though most people find out when they get to Coles or whatever, notice there’s no QR codes available for check-in then the clerk who informs them that it’s no longer necessary or available.

You’d think they’d leave the option open but hey, they won’t. For some reason it’s an all or nothing mentality and I hope it doesn’t fall belly up.

Yes, I know exactly what they spent it on.

Literally nothing, 'cause there wasn't any actual money allocated.

Apparently the rumour is that the Service NSW IT outage this weekend is due to reversing the changes that had been made this week to delink QR from services with the expectation QR and masks will have to come back this week.
