I hear you.

It's a sad indictment of Australian society in the last few decades at how much the regulation and control has slipped in. I mean, that's why so many Australians were conditions perfectly to follow the nonsense even when it was super-nonsense (a pandemic with less than almost no deaths in 2020, yet everyone following mandates...)

For me its a serious inhibitor that a bike rider MUST wear a helmet. Apparently only in Vic and in QLD. Even in the Netherlands, which is about 1000% more bike riders, they don't do that.

Sigh.
