More than fifty Brisbane cyclist staged a “die-in” protest near the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital at 8:25 this morning.
Led by Greens councillor for the Gabba, Jonathan Sri the protest was sparked after a nineteen year old was hit at the same intersection two weeks ago.
Councillor Sri acknowledged the act was controversial, but says “after years of advocacy, it's clear that evidence-based arguments and rational debate alone are not working to shift the cultural biases within the bureaucracy, so we need to take a more assertive approach.”
