I'm also a bit concerned that the licence requirement and 10 km/h limit may be sacrificial clauses intended to be dumped in response to feedback and give the appearance of compromise. There is so much more in this bill that needs to be avoided, it's important to not easily let them get away with that.

    sacrificial clauses

    Very likely, great for car lobbyists (/donors) but impractical given it's uptake. Plus tough on teens for the core demographic of miserable bastards. Pleasant fodder for the greens though once LNP goes back to Siberia for the next decade (hope, please)

    Also, I don't think they we're expecting to be pilloried on the world stage as complete morons to the current level. It has gained some media presence,
