Recommendation to allow bikes on footpath is a cop out. Cramping walkers and riders together is dangerous especially for mobility challenged people. Our 30kmh main st would be safer if bikes/cars shared traffic lanes. My ob is that motorists drive slower when road design does not prioritise them.

Freedom of Movement is a CIVIL LIBERTY guaranteed by Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Movement along a public road in NSW is a legislated RIGHT whether by ‘foot or…otherwise’. Driving a motor vehicle along a public road is a PRIVILEGE. Not cool to abuse a privilege to deny a right.

Pollies whine community expectations can not be met by government. Really? They send our resources OS for a pittance, allow corporations and obscenely rich to pay little or no tax, undermine worker rights and gaslight citizens into ongoing dependence. Welcome to the enshitificene. #auspol

3 things that stood out from a 1984 reread. 1. Doublespeak etc sounded like lotta today’s corporate spin. 2. Snooping of the ‘telescreens’…how many voice activated devices are currently listening in on you? Give a shout out to the muskrats? 3. Gambling key to keeping the ‘prols’ distracted. 🤔

Um… public transit is regularly marginalised by being tacked onto networks designed to prioritise car travel. As such it is often less convenient, less connected and unsafe. Open your eyes as there are plenty of examples of good integrated design where PT is appreciated and used.

Ok, so as a disabled person entirely dependent on internet access to link with suppprt services…and government policy allows for you to be denied internet access for over 3 mths when a telco cuts your access overnight with no notice. How is this a fair go? #disability #accessibiliy #auspol

Oh dear. I’ve been giving ABC RN Breakfast a go following PK’s departure. Just heard that another irritating self aggrandiser, Peter Martin is to be brought back from next week. A downgrade for sure.

“The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.” As we celebrate Rosa Parks’ 112th birthday, I'm grateful #TransitEquityDay was established to honor her birthday and her role in transit justice & policy. That means investing in sustainable, accessible transit systems as the public good they are.

Want to change the world? Get out of your car. That is, avoid seeing and analysing the world around you through the windscreen of your vehicle. #transportjustice #accessibikity #disability #auspol

Two words to describe the orange puppet state. Economic Terrorist All the deeply hurtful lies, hate and punishments are delivered to distract. So how do we avoid distraction and confront the plutocracy?

I’m told my disability is what restricts my movement. Not so. The truth… ✅Road design that excludes walkers and cyclists. ✅Lack of safe footpaths. ✅No public transport. ✅Dangerous drivers. There’s a word for it. Discrimination. #transportjustice #disabiliy #accessibility #auspol

Same bus, same road. Where is her protection as speeding driver overtakes bus on double white lines, on wet road, against oncoming vehicles. Tragedy a micro second away.

$2.4 million to erect crash barriers on rural road. Audit noted increased risk for cyclists and pedestrians. $0 for other road users. Car hits barrier=car already out of control. Encourages higher risk taking, cyclists, pedestrians excluded #transportjustice #accessibility #auspol

Hey Greens and Independent candidates…where are you? Only a handful on here. Am following some, but you don’t post. Others yet to join #bluesky Much rather hear from you instead of all this chatter about the Dud Man. #auspol #transportjustice #accessibility

Great start Adam. Now for some actual PT. This is not whoop whoop. It is part of the busiest transport corridor in the country with the M1 slicing through our Nth Rivers communities, adjacent to SEQ, Gold Coast Airport. Over 2.5 million annual tourists to Byron. #transpprtjustice #accessibility

A good reminder that cycle lanes and footpaths don't appear congested as they (mostly) allow people to move through quickly and efficiently. Video taken from charlemont luas stop on a rainy morning.

I know there’s a lot right now. But folks need to understand what this means. A suspension this long would mean people living with HIV lose their medicine for months. People around the world lose their PrEP for months, putting millions at risk of getting HIV. Drug-resistant strains could emerge.

I think I should say I’m also very interested in mobility/public transport news, bec bike commuting where I live has radicalized me towards the idea that we have surrendered a huge percentage of public space to cars, to our detriment.

Another disgracefully tragic yesr of inaction. Drivers and occupants the only slight reductions. Human movement needs to be starting point, not car movement. Equitable design for all road users. #auspol #transportjustice #accessibility www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
