What I wrote;
This outcome is an absolute outrage.
As a cyclist I'm extremely disturbed at the leniency of the sentence. In a period where cyclists rights are seriously compromised/misunderstood and riders much maligned by motor vehicle operators, this verdict affirms the assertion that riders lives are of little consequence and the government's ambivalent attitude toward road cyclists, i.e., that they are simply a nuisance and should be treated with contempt by other road users.

This farcical decision degrades the dignity of every Australian citizen and our integrity as a nation. An utter disgrace.
