I live in Australia, and outside of my circle of friends, every time I mention my opinion regarding this I'm met with scorn, or claims about how I'm being an … Stop complaining about a solution and come up with a better one.Watching people die usually makes people become more safety conscious.Interesting article on Australia's continuously expanding nanny-statism and NIMBYism.It's one of the more bizarre parts of Australian culture, the NIMBY and overly extreme safety/risk aversion culture melded into a monster that just keeps expanding and expanding making public places a sterile landscape and resulting in the deaths of entire industries.

Like cars should have seat belts. But there's a never ending ebb and flow. House prices are reasonable, no one is looking over my shoulder to see what i'm up to. youtu.be/sIr5DV... 8 comments. '.Australia's not unique in this of course, but I think it is quite unique among western countries in how much emphasis is placed on safety vs freedom. A lot of rules that are enforced in the city aren't in regional areas too (I got told to 'finish your testing and get off the street ASAP' in a friendly tone when testing my ride on mower after working on it, in Sydney I can guarantee I would have been fined and the mower likely impounded or something - unregistered vehicle lol).Another poster mentioned speeding/road rules and that is a great example of the differences in location. 76% Upvoted.
