Queensland e-scooter laws halve child injuries
Queensland's new e-scooter and e-bike laws have led to a significant reduction in child hospitalisations since their introduction on 1 July. Child hospital admissions have more than halved compared to the first half of the year, while authorities have issued over 2,800 infringement notices and seized 600 illegal devices. The state government describes the nation-leading regulations as a success, with other Australian states closely monitoring the results.
