After a rise in deaths and serious injuries on e-scooters, the state government has launched a parliamentary inquiry to improve safety for riders and pedestrians. 

This follows a sharp increase in injuries involving personal mobility device riders, which has more than doubled over the last three years. 

CEO of Pedestrian Council of Australia, Harold Scruby, told Sofie Formica on 4BC Afternoons, "I sat on the e-scooter committee back in 2020, in New South Wales, we had every key stakeholder on board."

"We unanimously recommended the following major points one, minimum age of 17. Two, a driver's license. Three, a form of number plate. Four, some form of insurance. Five, not on any footpaths. Six maximum speed on shared paths ten."

"Now, if you look right around the nation, no one yet has embraced this idea that we should have a license," Mr Scruby continued.

Senior Application Security Engineer at Dvuln, Noah Farmer, told Sofie Formica on 4BC Afternoons, "If you do think you're affected by an Infostealer, the best thing to do is keep everything up to date."

"You can install antivirus and anti-malware software, but that alone is not a silver bullet."

"The best thing to do is to be vigilant for any signs of compromise...make sure you have a clean device to access your accounts," Mr Farmer continued.

Two of The Ten Tenors, Sam Ward and Cameron Barkley told Sofie Formica on 4BC Afternoons, "This is the first tour that we've been to every state in Australia as well. So we're doing 27 cities, I think 40 shows over 27 cities. And we're going to every state for the first time."

"It's a 30th birthday party, essentially. So it's a celebration of the whole 30 years of the group. So we've got all those classical roots that you've started with. It is a celebration at the end of the day. So we do have a bit of a party as well."

The Mood of the Nation report reveals how Australia feels about issues facing the country.

SEC Newgate, Research Partner, David Stolper, told Sofie Formica on 4BC Afternoons,  "We've seen a marked change since February, so we've currently got 42% of Australians thinking the Labor Party will be the best party to deal with cost of living versus only 24% for the coalition."

"So we've seen an 11% increase in the belief that the Labor Party is the best party to deal with cost of living."

"I think while the coalition has been able to elevate concern around cost of living, I think they've been less effective in presenting themselves as a party that will do any better when it comes to that key issue," Mr Stolper continued.
