Raf, the pole is an "asset" controlled by the State roads authority (RMS).
Please be sure to ALSO report this issue at:

http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=feedback.form

And be very clear about the risk to riders, and particularly if there's risk that a rider impacting the pole may fall into the traffic stream.

Thank you. I have now also reported it to RMS. In the incident I saw, the poor woman careened into bicycle traffic but could well have gone onto the road, which I have noted in the report.
