Queensland parliament as it happened: Child safety report, e-bike laws in focus
In the third and final day of this week’s parliament sitting, controversial e-mobility laws are set to pass.
Back in the Legislative Assembly, debate is continuing toward the scheduled passage of the government’s controversial e-mobility law changes before proceedings end tonight.
The new laws came after a 10-month parliamentary inquiry, sparked by community concerns about dangerous e-scooter use and high-powered electric motorbikes, which are already illegal to use in public.
The inquiry’s recommendations were turned into a bill by the government, which was referred back to the same committee that did the inquiry. After a fresh round of hearings, the committee recommended the laws be partially watered down.
On Tuesday, Transport Minister Brent Mickelberg gave an overview of the LNP government’s revised version of the bill – however, detailed amendments were only tabled in parliament as debate began on Wednesday afternoon.
