When CampbellNewman, Jim Soorley AND Jonathan Sriranganathan + other ex-Mayors & Deputy Mayors all think that a proposal to build another stadium on public parkland is a terrible idea, there's a good chance it's a terrible idea. #SaveVictoriaPark #qldpol

This fellow was found crawling along the ground - possibly hit a branch & got a head knock. He’ll be fine & ready for release back into the wild, after a short period of care & rest. But if the person who found him hadn’t called it in for a rescue, he likely would have be dead within a day or two
