Of course there will never be a update to the appointment process for govt board roles.

Both majors just want to keep the status quo going for as long as possible.

A Olympics referendum is our best shot for a reset in Queensland political life.

Queensland is still yet to complete a whole-of-government update to its appointment process for major board roles more than three years after a critical auditor-general report.

Queensland vowed to update board job processes in 2022. It still hasn’t

A critical Palaszczuk-era audit office report found outdated guidelines and practices for appointments and reappointments, but the key call is still in progress.

Kenmore outages alone are now 1/5th of remaining power outages from Sunday.

Politicians want to talk about radar...

Kenmore residents want to talk about the response since.

Currently in Southeast Queensland there are 5,244 customers without power, across 34 suburbs. KENMORE is the most impacted suburb with 914 customers affected.

One Queensland @onequeensland.bsky.social · 9d

I'd be safe to say, if you are one of the 1,232 affected in Kenmore near 30hrs post-event on Sunday: I'd be looking at pushing Energex to pay for any spoiled food in fridges/freezers.

Hell: open disaster funding to allow these people to restock once power is back and fridge contents disposed.

SEQ Power outage tracker @seqpoweroutages.bsky.social · 9d

Currently in Southeast Queensland there are 13,353 customers without power, across 80 suburbs. KENMORE is the most impacted suburb with 1,232 customers affected.

I also cannot see the Kenmore power outage number shifting tonight.

From what I have heard from weather forums and the like (houses with trees through roofs, lots of roads closed/powerlines down): dawn tomorrow morning will be a significant revelation in that suburb to what damage has occured.

One Queensland @onequeensland.bsky.social · 10d

Wouldn't be surprised if some of the issues in Brisbane's western suburbs involve trees that were weakened due to TC Alfred earlier this year.

People will want power back quickly in these areas: tomorrow's forecast top (37-38c) will somehow add a aroma, the longer the power stays off.

I'm hearing about a significant amount of trees down in the Sherwood area, after the storm went through a hour ago.

One for the Roar supporters and for those like @catfield.bsky.social fighting for a fair deal for QLD football followers: Suncorp Stadium and Translink are being stingy concerning event transport to Brisbane Roar games in the early part of the A-League season.

A SEQ council falls for cyber fraud.

If you cannot trust a SEQ council to tell the difference between AI and real people (only to cost them $2m in the process), then why the hell are we hosting the Olympics?

Council strengthens processes to safeguard against cyber fraud

CEO Larry Sengstock has assured the Noosa community that Council has implemented significant improvements to its financial processes to safeguard against any future fraud attempts.

First of three GC Line infill stations set to open next week: with Pimpama reconnecting to the rail network directly for the first time since the 1960's.

Yet: it'll still be faster for a Pimpama resident to go to Brisbane Airport... than Coolangatta.

Next stop... Pimpama station!

The bigger question: how many Murdoch-supplied drinks did it take on Sunday night to get on this “unity ticket”?

News Corp Australia owns 70% of the Broncos, and has a partnership with the Australian Olympic Committee.

A conflict of interest, three QLD Premiers have ignored for six years.

And they'll get it while News Corp Australia still owns 70% of the Broncos.

The same News Corp that has a partnership with the Australian Olympic Committee.

What I'd give for a journo to ask for full disclosure of any gifts made by News Corp Australia to Palaszczuk, Miles and Crisafulli.

What I would give for a Fitzgerald-style investigation into the connections between Queensland's political class and the monopoly print media operator in Queensland that is News Corp Australia and see whether if News has been influencing QLD government decision making as far back as 2019.

Courier Mail spruiking for a Suncorp Olympics upgrade while not disclosing the following:

1. News Corp Australia owns 70% of the Brisbane Broncos, a significant Suncorp Stadium tenant.

2. News Corp Australia has had a lengthy partnership with the Australian Olympic Committee.

Who should be in the Townsville mayoral by-election stakes.

None other than Steve "Pricey" Price.

He'd shoe it in, in the big local race.

Steve Price "Big Local Race" campaign, mid 2000's for a mares race, but deserves to be Townsville's next mayor.
