The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries): Presented a petition signed by 63 residents of South Australia requesting the house to urge the government to change the South Australian road rules, section 256—Bicycle helmets to either permanently or for a trial period remove section 256, so the scope of the law at least be limited to on-road areas only, and to those under the age of 17, allowing adults the right to make their own choice.
