The depth of community feeling over high-powered, dangerously ridden e-bikes was evident at a forum held at Cronulla on Saturday. or signup to continue reading More than 160 people packed Thornton Hall at St Aloysius Primary School for the two-hour meeting, organised by Cook MP Simon Kennedy. The event had to be moved to a larger venue than originally planned because of the large number of people who registered to attend. Speakers from the community told of seeing people knocked over by e-bikes, lasting injuries to a three-year-old boy who was hit, their own near-misses, up to four kids on a bike, the apprehension of older residents waking on footpaths where they had once felt safe, the disrespect of young riders, and parents seemingly unaware of their potential liability in the event of an accident. Police and the council were accused of lack of action and it was claimed parents were giving children "weapons", or "lethal weapons", with one speaker noting, "There will be a hell of a lot more of them after Christmas." The meeting heard that Transport for NSW had made a clear ruling that e-bikes equipped with a power rating above 500 Watts, "even if limited by software, switch, or other means", do not meet requirements to be ridden as pedal cycles on paths and roads. A high school teacher said schools were condoning use of illegal e-bikes by housing them for students during the day. "Police should go in, test every bike and take every one of them that doesn't comply," she said. "If we knew that kids were coming to school with weapons in their bags, you can guarantee police would come in and confiscate them." Another speaker received thunderous applause when he said, "I've had enough of it, I think everyone in this room has had enough of it, it's time for action". "If I rode a dirt bike through Cronulla mall, I would be in big trouble, but these guys can ride a silent dirt bike through the mall and get off Scott-free." An older man said, "They come up behind you are 20km/h and fly by you on the footpath which is just a metre wide. It is the parents who need to teach their kids to ring the bloody bell". Mr Kennedy said it was an issue "that needs the entire community to step up, and that includes federal, state and local governments, parents and schools". He said police had been more pro-active since Superintendent Don Faulds took over as Sutherland Shire Police Commander in July. "Action is starting," he said. "I have seen police in the mall multiple times and at Caringbah station. I appreciate it's not as fast as we would like, but Sutherland Shire is leading the way. It's a tough job police have." Mr Kennedy said, "Some of the Catholic schools have started educating parents about what is a legal e-bike". "If it goes over 25km/h or is over 500W, it is not an e-bike, it is a moped [requiring registration and the rider needing to be licensed]," he said. Inspector Dave Parker, from Sutherland Shire Local Area Command, said police made an educational visit to Cronulla mall on Thursday last week with a pop-up stall, and involving youth liaison officers and council officers. He also said, on October 31, an enforcement operation was conducted across the region, in which 115 bicycle offences, 84 of them involving unregistered vehicles ("a good percentage would be e-bikes"), and 53 registration offences were dealt with by police. Inspector Parker said only people of licence age (16 or over) could be issued with offence tickets. "Enforcement is being taken, but when we get into the juveniles, if they are not of licence age, we can't be issuing traffic tickets for licensing offences when they aren't old enough to hold a licence," he said. "We will be continuing pop-up events and other educational events around Sutherland Shire in conjunction with the council." Inspector Parker said plain clothes police would be utilised. "The last thing we want is for a police car with lights and siren tearing off some off after some kid on an e-bike," he said. Inspector Parker said police had the power to impound e-bikes after certain offences, "but then we also get into the storage issue - they have lithium batteries." Cronulla MP Mark Speakman said the Legislative Council inquiry into e-bikes finished taking evidence at the end of October and was expected to provide a report by early in the New Year after which the government had six months to respond. "I think the message that comes through loudly and clearly this morning is that, while we look at age limits, speed limits, registration and licensing and carrying IDs, reducing the wattage from 500 to 250, there is a need for action right now when it comes to enforcement, signage, import control and education," he said. Mayor Jack Boyd said council rangers did not have the power to issue fines or even ask for ID. He said the council would be erecting larger signs, particularly on the Esplanade, stating e-bikes and other bikes were not permitted. Former councillor Leanne Farmer suggested that, as well as using existing laws in enforcement, a social media education campaign should be conducted using "people that adolescents listen to", such as Nicho Hynes and Blakey Johnston.

Human Rights Tribunal ruled that a complaint of discrimination lodged against the Central Okanagan Board of Education will proceed to a hearing. A former student of George Elliot Secondary School in Lake Country, Faith Bigam, , alleging that she had been subject to discrimination by the School District No. 23 Board of Education, her school principal and a teacher. Bigam, who was in Grade 11 at the time of the incident, alleges that she was discriminated against "based on mental and physical disability." Bigam was diagnosed with , at 12 years old. According to the complaint, after years of building confidence, she voiced her desire to speak to the student body at George Elliot about her rare, degenerative condition in order to educate her peers. The complaint alleges that in 2019, a teacher, the school principal and the school district prevented Bigam from speaking at an assembly and then mishandled the aftermath of the situation. Bigam says that as a direct result of the incident, she was not able to return to George Elliot Secondary School. The presentation was scheduled for an upcoming school assembly and Bigam prepared a speech. There is contrasting evidence from Bigam, her mother and the teacher who was named in the complaint, about the incident that took place on the morning of the scheduled speech. According to tribunal documents, on the morning of the assembly, an interaction took place between Bigam, her mother and the teacher in charge of the assembly, that became heated. After a disagreement, it was decided that Bigam would not be present at the assembly. Bigam alleges that "everyone was raising their voices," and she felt embarrassed, panicked and began to cry. In a response to the complaint, the teacher alleges that she was not trying to prevent Bigam from speaking and says she did not raise her voice. She alleges that she was instead trying to work with Bigam to ensure the presentation fit with the theme of the assembly before the emotions escalated. After the incident, Bigam's parents spoke with and sent an email to the principal and the SD23, complaining about the interaction with the teacher regarding their daughter's now cancelled presentation at the assembly. The principal assured the family the matter was being taken "very seriously." Bigam stopped attending school after the incident. The school's vice-principal spoke with the BC Human Rights Tribunal and stated Bigam's mother was "adamant" that the teacher be fired and did not seem interested in an apology or “anything else”. Bigam never returned to George Elliot School, claiming she experienced stress, anxiety and emotional distress as a result of the altercation and graduated from an alternative learning program. Additionally, Bigam suffered a relapse of Multiple Sclerosis in June 2019, which her family alleges was spurred by the stress of the incident. Bigam says she missed out on important social and educational opportunities by not returning to the school. The BC Human Rights Tribunal has dismissed the complaint against both the teacher and principal but allowed the remainder of the complaint against the SD23. A date has yet to be set on the matter.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is an all-time classic - an early masterpiece of 3D gaming whose influence can still be seen to this day, and unquestionably one of the best N64 games ever made. But people have been complaining about Link's fairy companion Navi and her annoying advice since the game's launch in 1998, and she arguably set the stage for decades worth of irritating tutorials and hints in video games. It turns out that even Shigeru Miyamoto himself always knew that Navi's role in the N64 classic was less than ideal. "I think the way we give hints is still a little too unfriendly," Miyamoto admitted in an interview for a 1999 Japanese strategy guide, which has been translated by shmuplations. "Speaking plainly, I can now confess to you: I think the whole system with Navi giving you advice is the biggest weakpoint of Ocarina of Time. It's incredibly difficult to design a system that gives proper advice, advice that's tailored to the player's situation. To do it right, you'd have to spend the same amount of time as you would developing an entire game, and I was very worried we'd be digging ourselves into a hole, if we pursued perfection there..." Miyamoto went on to say that "if you read Navi's text, she says the same things over and over. I know it makes it sound bad, but we purposely left her at a kind of 'stupid' level. I think if we'd tried to make Navi's hints... Dustin BaileyKenyan-based start-up launches insurance for small-scale farmers
