If victims of coercive control taking children to Syria was “child abuse,” what do you call “using the power of the State to prevent them from leaving a Syrian concentration camp when they’re trying to get home?”

What a load of crap, this reminds me of the big scare around skateboarding when I was a young adult.

The real "emergency" in e-bikes is poor quality control in cheap batteries and the stupid Morrison era deregulation which allowed the import of non street legal conversion kits and bikes.

Having a moral panic about kids behaving badly e-bikes is a bit silly

Calculating a flight path to visit almost a billion homes in one night without any major causality violations is hard enough without administrations that treat atomic clock references as something that can get by with “good enough” service levels. Just be patient, we are running a fix-up pass. If you have been interpenetrated remain still and do not remove embedded gifts.

It's really nice to see Infrastructure Victoria promoting the safer 30km/h local streets message.

People vastly underestimate how important trans* rights are in the contemporary fight for freedom.

If you cannot make your own choices for your body, the name you go by, or even the very clothes that you wear, then you are not, in any sense, meaningfully free.
