Bicycle NSW had made submission, in support of that by Bicycle Queensland, to the Queensland Government regarding its draft “Managing E-Mobility Use” legislation. They oppose all proposed licensing, speed limits and age bans for legal e-bikes. They stress the need for e-bikes to meet the European safety and quality standard, EN-15194, and for enforcement of those standards, including a maximum power of 250W. That submission can be seen here.
