It's possible.  Remember Prohibition in Ontario got repealed :)

And as a note http://www.cycle-helmets.com/helmet_statistics.html "The
Northern Territory government of Australia has repealed compulsory
bicycle helmet laws for adults on paths not adjacent to roadways."

Maybe just a start but it is a start  If there is nothing to oppose
helmet zealots exagerations then we certainly will not get a law
reversed.
