Did you read the article?

“The demonstrations have all been peaceful and generally numbers in the range of a few hundred persons. Embassy RSO notes the rallies have featured very little, if any, anti-American sentiment,” the US embassy cable, dated 17 December 2010, reads. “Wikileaks supporters held a recent demonstration in Canberra’s central business district and made no attempt to march to the US Embassy or direct any ire at other American interests.”

Cars and trucks are linked with injuries and hospital visits [edit: and deaths] of pedestrians, cyclists and e-scooters – but let’s just blame the victim, shall we?

This case is more controversial within the US government than you might think.

It’s not a choice between blaming the scooter or the truck driver. It’s a choice between building safe light-vehicle and pedestrian infrastructure or car-centric urban planning.
