Under-16 e-scooter ban watered down by Qld government

The Queensland government has softened its stance on e-scooter regulations for minors, allowing children aged 12 to 17 to use these devices if they're supervised by an adult. This change comes after initial plans to ban e-scooters for anyone under 16 faced public and political pushback. The revised policy aims to balance safety concerns with the growing popularity of e-scooters as a mode of transport. This move highlights ongoing debates about youth safety and the regulation of new technologies.
