    Queensland considers e-scooter ban for under-16s
    Feb 26 2026
    Queensland is considering banning e-scooters and e-bikes for under-16s following a parliamentary inquiry, after eight deaths and rising injuries involving these devices on Queensland roads in the past year. The core issue identified is illegal e-motorcycles with 1000-watt motors flooding Australia since 2021, rather than legal 250-watt pedal-assist e-bikes. The federal government reversed its 2021 decision just before Christmas, now blocking imports of these illegal devices, though hundreds of thousands already exist on Australian roads.

    ISIS brides' children may claim Australian citizenship
    Feb 26 2026
    Two children in a Kurdish-controlled camp in north-east Syria may be eligible for Australian citizenship if they can prove their fathers were Australian Islamic State fighters, according to a former Deputy Secretary of the Australian Immigration Department. The children's mothers are ISIS brides without Australian citizenship, but DNA testing could establish paternal links to Australian fighters. Sydney doctor Jamal Rifi is separately negotiating with Syrian officials to bring 11 ISIS brides and 23 children to Australia, criticising both major political parties for their handling of the situation.
