Copenhagenize and others have been examining the merits, or otherwise of wearing helmets for quite a while...
the issue seems to be making its way slowly into the Australian press and... or at least an opinion writer here and there...
I'm not so sure any politician would be that keen to raise the issue... riding with helmets seems to have gone unquestioned/unchallenged for so long that it's now just something that most people accept whether they like it or not...
perhaps come civil disobedience and the freedom cyclist's court appearance will create a revolution??
