E-scooter: NZ Import Safety Concerns and How it Affects You
Peter McRae is calling on authorities to promptly address “regulation, categorisation and commercial concerns” regarding the importation of E-scooters.
In a publicly-released commentary, Mr McRae identified issues in three specific areas:
- Appropriate design and resulting classification of E-scooters as vehicles for transportation, not toys.
- Risk management for the expected increase in future motorised scooter imports.
- Need for greater regulation and systemic collaboration to ensure rider safety (via helmets, speed, etc.) as well as ensure public safety.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
