[bikeqld] Queensland bike lobby group wants cyclists to be licensed | The Courier-Mail

[John Nightingale]

I don't think it's ever worth spending too much energy on Mark H'liffe's
pieces. He enjoys being contrarian and likes to stir up cyclists and peds,
anyone who gets in the way of cars, but I don't think he has a belief in his
head. Probably about anything. Brother Councillor David H'liffe showed a
similar interest in principles when he was BCC's ALP leader. Never opposed
anything Can-do wanted, which is why the Hale St disgrace is being built, at
great cost to ratepayers who are risking their funds in this doomed venture.
