Only the red countries or regions on the map mandate bicycle helmets by law and enforce them with fines. Australia’s laws on this are not “world class”, “progressive” or even reasonable. They are just one of many symptoms of an overly powerful public health and safety bureaucracy and a polity that is either well conditioned to disproportionate responses to a range of issues or too lazy or too busy to fight the busybodies making work for themselves and their mates.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_helmet_laws_by_country
they dont enforce these rules at all in my experience
Only once did I witness any semblance of policing this. Walking in Perth CBD about 5 years ago saw two horseback cops having a convo with a guy on a bike, no helmet.
But then again, I was pulled over for driving in a bus lane a year back just after 4 pm. Got the works, breathylizer, drug test, was let go with a promise that “the office” will consider if I should get a fine. Cunts just changed the bus lane protection times from 4:30 pm to 4 pm.
Never got a fine.
I’ve been on the recieving end of enforcement.
This is the hill you want to die on?
Dam Andrews in the midst of his Lockdowns and general ass-fucking of the populace pushes through a ridiculous diversion and meaningless to 99% of the public, but a clear gesture of loyalty to his backers and future employers.
The Summary Offences Amendment (Nazi Symbol Prohibition) Bill 2022 was passed in 2022 and makes it a criminal offence for a person to intentionally display the Nazi symbol (the Hakenkreuz, often referred to as the Nazi swastika) in public.
Anyone who intentionally displays the Nazi symbol in public will face penalties of up to almost $22,000, 12 months imprisonment or both.
With the hundreds of thousands of useless and invariably unhealthy elderly migrants to be brought in by this Labor Government, it won’t matter if a million cyclists crash without helmets. Medicare will be fucked dealing with these migrants.
Kind of justified given that we have (expensive/quality) public healthcare and welfare state
how many extra bogans with head injuries we would be on the hook for if shazza and Dazza could ride around pissed without helmets
Medical care
TAC
DSP
etc etc
when there’s no self sufficiency or responsibility, there should be no expectation of freedom
https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/aug/12/mandatory-bike-helmet-laws-do-more-harm-than-good-senate-hears
“Various studies have provided conflicting claims about the effectiveness of helmets in reducing head injuries.”
“Chris Rissel, professor of public health at the University of Sydney, has written that cycling numbers dropped after the helmet laws were introduced and any reduction in head injuries could be attributed to there being fewer cyclists on the road.”
It’s the same public health zealots who gave us the covid vaccine mandate. Always “safety” first, with safety being the most draconian measure possible. No different to the temperance zealots who brought in prohibition.
I exist in the wrong country at the wrong time. This is a stifled and boring populace tolerating the crushing of their spirits for the sake of comfort and security. Freedoms are more important than this.
zero evidence provided in that guardian article to support that just opinion
where are the studies that they claim provide conflicting results ?
they don’t link a single one
Here is a meta analysis
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7025438/
just people wanting their preferred opinion to be true , without substantiation
now if there was an agreement that you don’t receive any govt support or free medical care if you injure yourself while riding a bike helmet less , then it would be reasonable to abolish compulsory helmets
that is however in turn going to lead to a lot of homelessness , gofundmes, crime etc
a welfare state is by necessity a nanny state
the irony….
and i will repeat this for emphasis:
So if you receive a head injury at any time while not wearing a helmet you shouldn’t receive treatment.
Why are bikes singled out when as you yourself point out the same is true of cars and literally any other head impacts?
Click on the links e.g the ‘has written” in the quote I pulled. Plenty of studies in the end notes.
No other welfare states enforce bike helmets like we do. That is what the map shows.

From Hersh’s account it seems as though my spitballing on Israeli involvement was off the mark [No.1 – I concede and up my US probability of direct involvement to 90%].
But still this comment was intriguing:
Given that he has already written extensively of US, Norweign and potentially Denmark and Sweden’s involvement.
no mention of brits
Brits had nothing to gain. Norway did, and so did US, from what I read they are now the biggest LNG exporter, eclipsing Qatar
that begs a question then ..wtf is britain doing in this war?….I smell money …lots of money ..an example of square mile shitfuckery of which BP is the least
I really think it’s about Brits ruling family trying to get back to their empire status, since the US is rapidly losing ground.
When the multipolar world comes, they want a piece of the pie.

What has UK got to do with anything?
is it along the lines of The City Evil Financier conspiracies?
It has been really strange that since the beginning of this Support Ukraine battle cry the UK has been as strong, if not stronger than the USA, voice for Ukraine. Also, UK tried to front run a few things, like BoJo visit in April last year that scuttled the peace deal, declared their everlasting love for all things Ukrainian through 3 PMs, even when their own people were fighting high inflation, power cost, demonstrations. UK were first to commit to providing main battle tanks, pushing others to follow.
It all seems odd. UK is usually the lapdog, not the leader of the pack. My speculation is that the can see the end of US hegemony and the emergence of a multipolar world. EU is done, the US is in decline, neither China nor Russia want to be the hegemon, so there is a chance for UK to regain some of its imperial ambition
Exactly – the Brits are just the biggest useful idiot in the room. With their fading relevance they take this role on the world stage thinking it shows people (see above) that they still got it.

I like freedom, but it can only apply when the freedom doesn’t hurt others.
Helmet wearing is essential because Medicare pays for the outcome, emergency services see enough carnage, taxpayers will fund a head injury in a thousand ways.
My maxim is; more people = less freedom
Spoken like a true Aussie.
Interestingly , many studies have shown that helmets provide significant protection and improve outcomes in car accidents too
makes no sense that they aren’t mandated for car drivers and passengers too
especially children
you can imagine the bogan outrage if they brought that in
all the unemployed DSP cookers on here would be declaring themselves sovereign citizens
meanwhile the Asian taxpayers would just do it
so lets spend umpteen billion bux on 47 airbags for every vehicle instead
another very good point
helmet costs $30
essentially another line of grift
those airbags prevent more than just head injuries.
dunno really …the only time i was involved with an air bag deployment there was no chance of any injury at all ..travelling to slow
We should lock down until we’ve figured out what’s going on with cars
helmets would prevent most head injuries full stop(no shit….).
We should mandate helmets be worn at all times, even in your own home, and especially in the shower where the chance of slipping over and hitting your head on a hard surface is high…

Lol – I wonder if DLS chewed Leigh out for daring to mention the evil one? I see that he chimed into the comments further down.
Leith isn’t such a sook and happier to treat an idea or comment on its own merit, and not judge it by where it has come from… a truth remains a truth, no matter who says it.
I can’t wait for the not racist dennis take on that article. He must be having connipitions
Lol at immigration lunatic.
Also shows, along with that Tulip flower, how the density issue is a red herring argument used to deflect away from shining the spotlight on the rate of immigration.
Quite clear that Dennis has never experienced violence in his life, because if he had he wouldn’t be as abusive as he is.
say the same about that dawson thing of per capita posted below
True. I don’t think I’ve seen a more aggressive shithead anywhere on the internet. It’s like he wasn’t socialised properly as a child, and his response to anyone who disagrees with him is a torrent of abuse. Its odd, because he gdnerally seems like an effeminate SJW lefty softcock.
He must be an absolute dream to be around.

It is only acceptable for property developers and the immigration industrial complex to kill native wildlife. Cats do not give donations, there are no Cat board appointments.
very reasonable law
these are real greenies, not the fake kind
I support it
Unsurprising
what do you think is reasonable about allowing bogans to let their cats roam free and slaughter millions of native wildlife?
should the same bogans be allowed to let their pitbulls roam free slaughtering children?
The fact that 100% of new environmental regulations are directed towards increasing the misery of normies and 0% are directed towards more destructive activities undertaken by the very rich and corporations. E.g., taxes that affect planes that normies use don’t affect private jets that rich cunts use: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-09/private-jets-amazon-orders-set-to-escape-higher-eu-energy-taxes
Describing anyone who does anything you don’t like as an evil wh*te bogan doesn’t make your points more persuasive.
And the fact that you believe exactly the same things as Dan Andrews except you want lower taxes. Before it was Jim Chalmers but you’re also into safety bullshit so now you’re Andrews.
the fuck does private jets have to do with cats killing native wildlife
becuse we aren’t fixing one problem, let’s not fix any problems
very reasonable
Yes.
Because if we just cop every environmental regulation that the elites want to put on us so that the planet can survive them doing whatever they like, then eventually we’ll probably be living in the fucking Metaverse like it’s Matrix or some shit.
Until these cunts are willing to curtail their environmentally destructive activities in any way shape or form, I don’t think we should accept this very obvious scheme to free up the environmental budget for them to live even larger.
the “elites” are now crimping your ability to let your cat roam free
jesus christ most of the people here are just mentally ill
>Literal law put in place by lawmakers that you need to keep your cat inside or in a cat prison, or else the thing presumably gets euthanised.
>Omg u cooker how dare you say that the elites have reduced your rights.
Raise your trolling game or gtfo.
or… just keep your fucking cat inside?
Or just… pick somewhere else to simp for elites because it’s fucking tedious seeing you here all day arguing things that you don’t even actually believe, just to get a rise out of people.

I wonder if all the deranged behaviour and opinions displayed by cookers on this website could be due to toxoplasmosis induced personality changes, from exposure to cat faeces
how many of you cookers own or have owned cats?
Douchey Howser is on the case
i dont own any pets i dgaf about them theyre just dirty and annoying. another way to be less free in life essentially, never understood why so many people wanted to do that to themselves
Emergency food supply
Rabbits are better than dogs and cats though, right?
remember reading that carnivore/predator meat isn’t really good eating
I thought you said you had a dog?
not me
It was just a metaphysical dog?
I believe the dog being discussed was coming…
Native wildlife has already been completely decimated long before someone moves in with a cat. Clearfelling every tree in the area and bulldozing all the ground doesn’t leave much food for wildlife. IF you want to save the wildlife cats aren’t the point to be starting at.
This is right. Saving wildlife is not a sensible goal in towns and cities.
out in the bush where the wildlife is, perhaps the feral cats can be shot or poisoned?
the foxes are eating as much as the cats, and the rabbits are destroying the entire environment anyway…
kill them all?
might be a way to utilise those millions of vials of Pfizer shots that nobody wants
I’m sure no ones thought of trying that strategy yet…
Maybe legislate that they must wear masks and can only leave their burrows for 1 hour a day, if exercising.
then they’ll get fed up and move to New Zealand or Thailand or something
over here rabbits have slowed considerably..calici rkt them
cats and foxes and feral dogs are still an issue.
unfortunately we can’t do the denham peninsula thing everywhere ….too much country
cats eat fresh…about half or less …gunna have to be radical bait.
how is not sensible?
I much prefer to have birds in my backyard, than the neighbours cats shit
they should be kept indoors or shot dead/baited
it isn’t that difficult
cat trap ..wheelie bin full of water. fk ’em
yes, the whole world should be set up to your preferences, kill all the cats and sharks so you can have flying rodents in your yard…
Are sharks wildlife?
Didnlt you advocate wholesale slaughter of every shark on the planet.

None, we will scoop them all up in trawlers nets as we already are so you can have your swafood dinner…

Need to bring in another 300,000 folks per year to ensure that there is enough demand for the previous 300,000 folks that were brought in that can’t find jobs.

You should check out other countries on top of that list….
I did, thats why I want a total.

Was reminded of a meth addict who ended up in a psych ward, and demanded that they be allocated a different psychiatrist because they weren’t going to be given any addictive medications. After putting up with a torrent of abuse, the doctor tells them that a change in specialist can only happen if they put their complaint in writing and the director agrees to it. So the patient goes off and write pages of complaints, and an hour later goes back to see the doctor and asks, “who is the director?” and the doctor says, “I am.”

Some migrants 7.30 spoke to cited racism, inability to find a job in their own field and a strict parental reunion policy as some of the reasons — and experts like Fethi Mansouri agree.
In many cultures globally, the idea of family is not just … the two parents and the kids,” Professor Mansouri said.
“One of the key considerations for [migrants] will be the extent to which they can bring a parent.
The long-term goal is to get into airlines. [But] there just isn’t enough jobs for everyone out there.
so why would we import even more if there already aren’t enough opportunities?

A comment from No 1 mentioning Metaverse strangely coinsided with a ZH article on Metaverse published earlier today.
https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/metaverse-really-turning-out-snow-crash
I’ve read the book and found it fascinating. It really did explore the pitfalls of humans switching off.
At the same time, I cannot believe that people will willingly switch off from life to exist in an alternate reality. Did anyone have this experience? Why would you do it?
That seems like an interesting book. Might read it. …is it a significant advance on the theme of dissociation, escapism, etc that we see in Brave New World?
does the ZH article contain spoilers for the book?
Not really. It was written back in the 90s from memory and had some interesting and true predictions about how this turned out.
The author had at least one more interesting book, can’t remember the name.
And one can find an audiobook free if one looks for it
Brave New World was written in 1920s? So also very prescient, but if one was to guess in that era what could happen, one would also need to read Zamyatin’s Us.
I found both of the anti-utopia books very thought provoking.
Snow Crash, though, goes in a whole new direction, as it imagines a world that was not even imagined 100 years ago – a virtual reality. Both Huxley and Zamyatin could only imagine tech that was available at the time, and it’s advances. Computer was not on the cards

How they get away with this shit is not beyond my comprehension, but it still infuriates me.

Don’t worry. All they have to do is give up the wagyu washed down with the finest shiraz. That’s according to that law talking guy.
they put cost of living pressure in the same breath as “seasonality”. Better hope like fuck that the inflation is transient and prices for staples start falling. (Because god forbid wages start rising and we have to crank rates higher again)
anyhow, this is what I’ve been telling youse – house prices are resilient when people are comfortable. People’s surpluses need to be drained (through higher energy prices, higher food prices, whatever) if prices are to be vulnerable.
that’s why all the bleeding heart lefties who want to spare everyone every ounce of pain are implicit supporters of high house prices.
You’ll be pleased to know I have been doing my bit by raising fees this year.
Not a lot percentage wise, but in absolute terms enough to cover the increases in mortgage repayments since rates went up from 0.1%
Have also adopted the tradies “charge double and hope they fuck off” mentality on any work I don’t want to do.
I looked at putting solar on the roof late last year. The intertubes all said PV in Canberra cost about $1K per KWh. When I got quotes it was at least twice that…so about $13K for a 6.6 KWh system, up to about $22K for something bigger. Calculated break even times were about 7-9 years. Installation lead times were also about 4 months. They all seemed to have so much work that they’re charging whatever they like in the hope that punters will go away.
I decided I’ve got better things to do with my money.
Welcome to supply and demand working as it is intended to…
yeah ..its a pain in the arse ..
to do the bait ice and fish freezers in the shed I went it alone, all 12 volt , fk western power and the 7c FIT.
panels on top of the sea container, 2 cheap arse jaycar solar regs 4 recycled 12v batteries about 70% condition
and 2 inverters I had laying about.
can’t wait to fuck these synergy western power types off
good golly … how much fish do you keep?
only allowed 20kg fish fillet per person in the household..but ice and bait? gotta stock the box…shouldn’t take fish without bleeding them and placing on ice for processing…rigor mortis type firming from chilling..easier knife work..so how much ice is needed for a 10 day trip?.. 25 bags is a bit short
So 20kgs per person per day is how much you’re allowed to take?
how long does it take to fill a shipping container at that rate?
no ..20kg is the personal possession limit full stop
hard maximum 10kg of demersals and 10 kg of littoral and/or pelagics …. bit of a problem if the spanish mackeral comes in at 15+kg [which is common]
and its wise to label the fillet packets in your name and transport in the vehicle your driving …always be in the immediate presence of your catch
but this is for one day, right?
so you can go grab another 20kg the next day and have heaps in the freezer?
no …at any point in time an amateur fisher can have 20kg of fillet in his possession.. no more than 20kg at any time ever…
naturally I add lobster squid crab when I can as they are outside the bag.
once the fish make it home it’s then policed as 20kg per person in residence
the ship container is hosting the solar panels and electrics is all…it’s out he bobf and in full sun ergo an oven in the day.. the freezers are in the shed [bit cooler]
household chest freezers they are.

saga gets better ever day
david certainly does have a type – which also looks like him and probably therefore his mum
he might be packing a serious cock though since the ex seems to be very bitter despite being more attractive than him
I think he is significantly more attractive than his ex. And also his next ex.
u wot m8
hes hideous

The US Military Industrial Complex is making billions and their order books are full up for the next several years. BlackRock has inked deals to rebuild Ukraine. The elites are more than happy for the war to continue.
that also might help me with the querying of Britain’s purpose in the uke. war.

dailymail doing gods work every day
I’ve always thought that men wearing fancy watches is super faggy/effeminate
its basically jewellery
A work ute costs $70k these days I don’t think anyone will get their nose out of joint over a $10k watch.
a work ute does work
a watch does nothing that your phone doesn’t already
its jewellery for men
ostentatious adornment
would never have picked you for a metro fag
they can do work but most fags just drive them around to be cool in their own minds, my neighbour was unemployed and owned a huge 4wd with towing capacity etc, didnt need it for anything
tell him ampol rang and said thanks….
Most utes are used as toys, but take any car. $100k plus cars are commonplace. If it’s European it will be virtually worthless in another 12 years.
A watch will at least be worth something in 12 years.
That Daily Mail link you sent where they intentionally misquoted him as suggesting only supply side house issues, and now this one where they are attempting to the man rather than the ball, tells me DM are another property vested interest group.
Daily Mail and General Trust – Wikipedia
Fuck this moderation approval bullshit. If you look at their Wiki page you can see DM-owners also own property information sites, and property investment sites.
pretty tenuous conspiracy theory there
These kind of companies would only benefit from a high turnover due to mortgage failures
The current lack of transactions while we Wile Coyote aren’t good for their business
And not even in this country anyway
I’m just going with clickbait and they want to appeal to the everyday Australian
(without any bizarre ideology as displayed by journalists at fairfax or Murdoch)
Are you denying that there is a coordinated effort by the media to not mention demand-side immigration as a contributing factor to unaffordability?
that has nothing to do with the dailymail who regularly publish anti-immigration pieces
DM published Big Australia propaganda. If their editors are too ignorant to realise that fact then they are part of the problem.
example?
Example is that link you sent the other day where Phil Lowe was intentionally misquoted as suggesting only supply side factors as per the MSM. I listened to that part of the hearing and he clearly mentioned immigration and population growth as demand side factors.
serious paranoia mate
I don’t think dailymail writers listened to the whole 12 hours
they just copy pasted something from fairfax or abc
Here’s what they published
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11751809/Reserve-Bank-Australia-Governor-Philip-Lowe-warns-rate-rise-Senate-hearing-Canberra.html
Seems to me that includes demand and supply factors
Factual and neutral
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11760549/Harry-Triguboff-hits-Meriton-launches-new-proposal-Little-Bay-Sydneys-south-east.html
here’s their article from today
dailymail just reports facts
they don’t have the intellectual capacity to editorialise and propagandise
and they have no agenda anyway
the website only exists to sell ads thats why its 80% celebrity gossip
you may as well accuse New Idea of being pro-immigration
Lowe made specific references to immigration and international students. Saying half the truth is propaganda.
But yes I accept your point about copy/paste. At least they could invest in an editor that understands that they are being played.
lmao

they published this just a couple weeks ago
do a google search for “dailymail immigration”
they love posting articles like this because their readership loves to seethe over immigrants
you are absolutely cooked mate
sounding like DLS
just because they didn’t publish 2 sentences out of 5 hours of testimony, that they didn’t even watch because they just copy pasted from the fucking ABC anyway

they are literally publishing your exact viewpoint with CAPITAL LETTERS and everything
So why was it excluded in other article? Why focus on watches instead of main issues? You are the one saying they are balanced when it seems they really haven’t got a clue about what they are publishing.
its a fucking tabloid newspaper mate
its designed to get clicks
the bogans who read it love to observe and also hate on rich people, so its perfect for them
they’d be in a lather over this faggy looking nerd who makes a million dollars wearing a fancy watch while they have to sell their jetski and stop getting their nails done every week
the people working on the floor have neither the interest nor the intellectual capacity to form and shape any type of political agenda

Fair enough. It is a low budget clickbait site.
Listen to Joseph Wang interview on Financial Repression Authority. He makes mention of Interest Rates causing inflation. I presume he is where you got that idea from. He clarifies that it was a hypothesis of what could happen with MMT and that it is not the case right now.
no he isn’t where I got that idea from
I’ve had the idea for a few years
because lowering interest rates only seemed to make deflation worse
so the opposite could make inflation worse, I reckoned
its a very old idea in any case
From Irving Fisher and Albert Gibson in the early 1900s
and that is before they started paying IOR in order to set the target rate, which is what really started ringing alarm bells for me
He is the one who is firmly in the “QE is money printing” camp
so its very contradictory for him to now say that high rates aren’t also money printing
he’s not as smart as he likes to think he is, is my impression
So his theory is that raising interest rates cause inflation but only under MMT?
That kinda sounds like he’s saying that printing money is what actually causes inflation
I think it was to do with the balance of debt and savings. If there is more govt debt than private debt, and that govt debt is broadly distributed, you end up with the scenario where more savers benefit from a rate rise (and spending more) than debtors constrained by rate rise.
I presume Coming’s deflationary example was also at a point in time when few people had debt and more people had savings.
“If there is more govt debt than private debt, and that govt debt is broadly distributed, you end up with the scenario where more savers benefit from a rate rise (and spending more) than debtors constrained by rate rise.”
Yep. That’s the scenario where higher interest rates causing inflation makes sense. The flip side, where low rates might cause inflation, would be via a currency debasement.
oops meant deflation and the currency debasement causes mass capital flight that trashes asset markets and causes a deep recession.
Never understood the appeal of luxury watches. From a practical point of view, watches seem obsolete given smart phones, fitness trackers etc.
Luxuries aren’t practical by definition.
mechanical watches are obsolete convoluted technology being marketed/sold as an upscale thing
its jewellery for men
who don’t want to be thought of as effeminate
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/luxury
something expensive that is pleasant to have but is not necessary:
great comfort, especially as provided by expensive and beautiful things:
Why do you care if watches are obsolete. They are perfectly functional devices and no one is making you buy one.
It’s art. If you get a handcrafted piece from Switzerland that is, I only have one but it gives me great pleasure to strap it on every day. It is not about utility, see? It is more about having a masterpiece on your wrist. A man has created a few things as precise as a timepiece, and none that he can carry.
the archetypal veblen good
I clearly remember the bicycle helmet laws because I was a young teen who got so annoyed of being hassled by cops that I stopped riding my bike altogether. It was not so much the helmets that I objected to, it was being forced to ride on the road. It is apparently safer for teens on bicycles to mingle with cars even when there are no pedestrians, and even if you ride slowly on the footpath on the way to dedicated cycleway.
The laws were not about medical costs per se. It was about public liability. I recall Bondi council getting their butt sued because a child got hurt, and so began the knee jerk reaction of shutting down play-equipment, banning bicycles on council footpaths etc. When settled we ended up with the neoliberal solution of government washing their hands, push the kids onto the roads, and privatise greenslips so that insurance companies pay for children that have been mangled by cars. I bet a big chunk of council rates go towards public liability costs for play equipment etc.
In regards to the general “Australia is a fine country” statement. This is also a neoliberal feature. If you continually cut the budget of police departments then the natural evolution is to go from fighting crime to revenue raising. This is also true for the ATO who are too afraid to spend big money taking on big business unless the outcome is assured, they instead bully the small guy for easy money.
Haha, sucks to be you legazen!
We have different rules for Food Delivery Specialists imported from the Orient and the Subcontinent.
They are free to ride their unregistered motorcycles at up to 40km/h on footpaths. Even when the footpaths have heavy foot traffic! (As they do, seeing that there are twice as many people in each city compared to when you were a kid)
