I disagree, those groups hate having to share the road with push cyclists, let alone scooters and ebikes

The actual effect of this bill is entirely to get people off of bikes and back in cars. It serves no valid purpose other than that.

But the petrol lobbys don't want this, they want less cars so it's easier to drive and park?

What is this nonsense? The petrol lobby wants as many cars as they can get.

What petrol lobby? We have like 1 or 2 at the federal level, but I'm unaware of any operating in qld?

They aren't the most influential here cos we don't have a petrol industry.

Leaving mostly automotive lobby groups, which there are a few and these do operate in qld. But the aren't advocating for 'get more cars on the road'
