This is passed on to UMC Via AMC Delegates mail list. It is from NSW MCC Every body should buy a copy of the Two Wheels mag in question and get a letter off to the QLD transport minister.

Update

I will assume that everyone has done their homework - to read and understand the helmets article in the current (September) Two Wheels magazine (mono-wheeling Street Triple on cover).
I can assure you that the roads authorities have. Don’t get left behind.

(1)
AMC has received a response from David Bradbury, Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer.

(a) Bradbury has approached Anthony Albanese, as Federal Minister for Infrastructure and Transport over the varying helmet laws for "use" in different States and Territories.

COMMENT: Albo sits as Chair of ATC, the Australian Transport Council - www.atcouncil.gov.au Please familiarise yourself with who’s who in the zoo and the function of ATC.
- This is the desired outcome, as the issue now gets punched downwards to each State via ATC and bypasses Austroads, who have achieved nothing on this issue.
- Grant Delahoy (MRA Vic) and I went to see Vicroads and followed that up with Dr. Dale Andrea (Vicroads), who had been appointed by Austroads to handle issues surrounding helmets.
- Austroads wanted to use the NSW Road Rules as the model for all States and Territories.
- We have presented sound policy objections and Austroads appears bewildered by it all.
