And the winner is… Suncorp!

He has announced Suncorp will be the new site. "I know that I said I'd do what the Quirk review recommended, but I cannot support the option they have landed on," he says. "This option will allow us to upgrade Suncorp Stadium to a standard to host a fantastic Opening and Closing ceremony."

Maybe if they go ahead with Vic Park, the Brisbane Live Arena could replace the Gabba accompanied by high density housing depending on the footprint. They’re already building the Cross River Rail to the Gabba which would be great.

Yes! Do you love all the green bridges above (what I assume is) the ICB?

The elastic strap is a good idea. I have a couple of giant daiso bags that fit like 3 supermarket bags in them. Keeps them together and makes it a ton easier to carry instead of trying to loop 6 different bags through your fingers.

This was click and collect, and brought out in crates, so maybe that’s why.

Yeah they’ll try and cut costs anywhere I reckon. Won’t be long and they’ll be disintegrating before you get them home!

Sounds like they expected everyone to early or postal vote!

Mine had a half hour long queue because there was only one ECQ official and she wanted to have a chat with everyone. And no sausages! Underwhelming election. I hope the Legalise Cannabis guy gets a few votes. He got my #1.

Married At First Sight. It’s as bad as it sounds.

None of the council campaigns have really cut through for me this time around. They all seem a little batshit insane.

Interesting about the attacks on the climate solutions now more than actual climate change itself.

Looks like 2 more have been arrested and they know the identity of the fourth.

Further Queensland arrests related to stabbing of woman in IpswichPolice in Queensland have arrested two further juveniles related to the “callous, cowardly, violent” fatal stabbing of a 70-year-old woman in Ipswich.

Authorities investigating had arrested a 15-year-old boy overnight, charging him with unlawful use of a motor vehicle.

Detective acting Superintendent Heath McQueen said police had since identified two further persons of interest – both of who are “juveniles”– who are now in custody. Police also know the identity of a fourth person of interest, who they hope to have in custody later today.

McQueen said the motive for the attack – which occurred in front of the woman’s 6-year-old granddaughter – was to steal her car.

McQueen said:”The motive was to steal a Hyundai Getz. I stand before you today talking about the murder of a grandmother in front of her 6-year-old [grand]daughter and the result was stolen Hyundai Getz. This is senseless violence. It doesn’t matter to me where these people go, we will find them.”
