E-mobility Devices

Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (14:55): A question again to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport. Will the government legalise e-mobility devices, and, if so, when? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TARZIA: It was recently reported to the opposition, on 15 March, that recently a man was issued around $3,600 in fines for using such a device. This man has a disability and says he relies on such devices for his own mobility.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Energy and Mining) (14:55): I have a great deal of sympathy for people who require mobility devices, and there are a lot of things we need to sort out in the legalisation of these devices, especially around insurance and other matters. That is progressing very, very quickly as part of our passenger transport review. I hope to have something ready for the parliament and the cabinet relatively soon, and as soon as that's ready to go I will brief the opposition and get back to the house quickly.
