Kit BashirIf they pass these absurd laws I hope cyclists get out there and claim the lane as is their right, and remember that it is illegal in this state for a car to pass within 1.5m of a cyclist.
AndrewR@Unixbigot here I was thinking that Mickelberg and the LNP were just ignorant of cyclist needs but that quote really speaks to the politicisation of this issue.
> In a statement, Queensland's Minister for Transport, Brent Mickelberg, said the government was prepared to make "tough decisions".
> "Labor funded and put illegal e-scooters and e-bikes on the streets, while we're removing them," he said.

@andrew thats fucking bullshit because the “illegal” devices were already illegal. (Whether they should be legally usable under some new rules is a whole different argument, but that’s not what the Literal Nazi Party is even considering.)
@Unixbigot also I seem to recall something about a certain non-Labor federal government loosening border controls and letting in the e-motos. Hypocrisy on so many levels.
