Queensland to require e-bike or e-scooter riders to hold a driver's licence or learner permit.

(Queensland is a dictatorship with its rubber stamp unicameral parliament - I very much hope that the democracies in other Australian states dismiss or significantly modify any similar proposals in their jurisdictions).

E-bike ban to target Queenslanders who are 'medically unfit to drive'

Queenslanders who are not "medically fit to drive" will be banned from e-bikes and e-scooters.

Natasha Taylor 21h ago

Got a medical condition that means you can't drive? Guess what: you won't be able to ride a fucking bicycle either thanks to the LNP.

Like a nice ride through the park? Nope, the LNP wants you on the busy road instead. What's that, almost all of Brisbane's bicycle infrastructure are footpaths and shared paths, not dedicated bike lanes? Well you're de facto banned from all of it.

E-bike and e-scooter riders to require a licence in Qld under proposed laws

A raft of new rules around the use of e-mobility devices will be ushered in after the Queensland government accepted the recommendations from a parliamentary inquiry.

I’m on my small smartphone so maybe that’s the problem but I can’t find the actual prohibited expressions listed in the new legislation “Fighting Antisemitism and Keeping Guns out of the Hands of Terrorists and Criminals Amendment Bill 2026”. Maybe they are listed in a separate instrument or something. (I’m using the word “instrument” to try to sound knowledgeable about laws and stuff.)

From dry creek beds to the Pacific
Crisafullofit's reign is horrific.

Affordability mandate dropped from Qld housing supply scheme

The LNP government says the move is about cutting red tape and delivering homes more quickly but, Labor claims it will further reduce affordability.

If I wore a t-shirt that said من النهر إلى البحر/ فلسطين ستتحرر, would the police here in Queensland arrest me?

#Auspol #Qldpol David Crisafulli does a very good job dealing with natural disasters both before and after with how he communicates in my opinion. A rare time I'll praise him.

Of course Crisafullofit has no respect for native forests. He has no respect for people either. https://www.greenleft.org.au/2026/1449/analysis/we-must-defend-our-precious-native-forests #environment #QldPol #auspol

We must defend our precious native forests

Native forests are crucial for climate change mitigation and water security, but pro-business government policies are allowing their destruction at an alarming rate. Ben Radford reports.
