Wheelies on Boxing Day. Did Barnaby Joyce ruin Christmas for e-bike riders? - Michael West
With the e-bike market exploding in Australia, record numbers will be found under the Christmas tree this year. But why are they not safe?
tinyurl.com

In case you're in a coma, you'll know Anika Wells (↙️) is at the bottom of a pile-on over her and her family's travel habits.
Who else should be under the pump? Can you guess? 👇

"Fraser’s legacy is uncelebrated and Turnbull reviled by people who reject the idea the Libs are strongest as a broad church".
Instead, they charge headlong toward a MAGA model - or "off a cliff", as George Brandis puts it. Seems even suicide's an option to keep Gina happy.

Is that just AFLW, mate? How about Sam Kerr or Liz Ellis?

Sam Newman was blackballed from TV for calling a victim of police homicide, George Floyd, "a drug addict, a crackhead and a porn star".
"He's a piece of shit", Newman added.
Now Steve Price is giving him a platform. Good thing we're hitting the silly season and nobody's reading ...
