Comment on All systems go for e-scooters in Wynnum by Graeme Leonard Melvin

They are quite simply a revenue stream for Council. Dangerous to pedestrians and an overall eyesore in the community. The results of questionable ‘surveys’ reflect a bias to their popularity. They are ridden mostly by the ‘Hoon’ brigade at full speed with no thought to the newly instituted Council regulations. Get rid of them!!

I find it difficult to understand what the justification for these scooters might be, beyond the Brisbane Council making extra dollars. I would have thought these devices would not be used to take anyone to their place of work, more likely just to the train or bus station. Carrying shopping on one is quite awkward. Going by anecdotal reports in the media, there has been an upsurge in injuries by users and to others as a result of their use. Recent legal changes would seem to reflect they are recognized as becoming somewhat of a hazard. Footpaths were designed for walkers, not a human being traveling at 12Kmph.

In reply to Nicolette Wiegers. Agree! The bot left out that the wading pool is heritage listed and that there is a great sense of community in Wynnum.

In reply to Michael Dwyer. Well said and I'm in total agreement . Went to put clothes in bin at Manly station recently only to find it is now, assumedly, a scooter parking lot. Not to mention others lying on the footpath. I have posted pick on fb to verify this. What are the council making out of this is what I'd love to know!

Great factual description of Wynnum. But nothing beats a personal touch and experience that brings colour to the article.

I’d love if ChatGPT was correct and there really was a man made swimming pool here 🙂

Both scooters and riders should be registered, licenced, and insured. We are already reading about collisions between scooter riders and pedestrians, with some serious injuries. The commercial scooter companies should have this as a condition of their public use. It would be easy to include the necessary computer code in their software to validate and record the hirer, and their speeds and locations while hired.

Didn’t Captain Phillips land in Sydney on 18 January 1788?

Wondering if you can help me I have spent $70 on 3 pairs of underpants from a trendy fashion store in Edith Street and I can’t remember it’s name and I haven’t picked them up yet
