Not a federal thing. I was specifically thinking of the Brisbane City Council local government which was repeatedly removing “white ghost” memorials to Philip Pawsey…until the memorialists put a white ghost bike on a trailer parked in the bike lane (which is a legal place to park a car here…), which because it’s legally parked on the road, it would be illegal for them to remove. It ended up highlighting the irony of their failure to build proper infrastructure (i.e., separated bike paths where a car can’t park and thereby endanger cyclists) far more than a normal memorial would have.
