In a move that simply beggars belief the N.S.W. Parliamentary Inquiry into
e-scooters and e-bikes has recommended allowing e-scooters to be ridden
on shared paths and roads across N.S.W if they are ridden by a person
older than 16. They will remain outlawed on pedestrian only footpaths. This
hair-raising proposal would allow a speed limit of 10 to 20km/hour on
shared paths and a 20 km/hour limit on roads where the speed limit is 50
km/hour or below. N.S.W Roads Minister Jenny Atchison said that by
regulating their use it would be easier to crack down on their behaviour. Is
she for real – allowing e-scooters onto the road at 20km/hour in all weather
conditions is a recipe for disaster – with no license or identification its
unmanageable and surely unfair to Police who have enough to worry about
without having to worry about e-scooters. I’m David Berthon

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
