Brisbane

In short: Queensland has a range of roadside cameras to detect offences such as speeding, mobile phone use, and not wearing a seatbelt.
The government has significantly revised how much it expects to make from cameras with revenue in 2023-24 tipped to fall $94 million short.
What's next? The cameras are now projected to make $409 million in 2023-24, followed by $465.8 million in 2024-25.

Brace yourself for a reduction in tolerance. Government relies on that speed camera income so if there's a shortfall they'll stop dropping the percent tolerances until we hit the 1kph over fines they hand out in Victoria.

Interesting stuff, I hope we can do something about this, though I think 14 is too young still - I reckon 16-18 is a better target

UQ's Camp Solidarity still going strong. The pro-genociders seem to have given up though. @brisbane

One of those interactive jobbos at Northshore if you’re interested.

Step into Bluey’s world - for real life. Let’s do this kiddos!

Embark on a brand-new immersive journey with Bluey, Bingo, Mum and Dad in their beloved home, backyard and beyond. Explore your favourite rooms, play interactive games, and keep your eyes peeled for surprises around every corner…and maybe even a Longdog or two!

As you arrive at the Heeler family’s Brisbane cul-de-sac watch out for those pesky bin chickens. Then enter their colourful Queenslander house, where you are invited to live and play like Bluey.

Follow the hallway to the living room and meet your guide who will join you on this very special adventure.

Discover Bluey and Bingo’s epic giant cubby. Crawl, climb and walk (funny walks encouraged) your way through the various cubby rooms.

Explore the girls’ bedroom from the stained-glass window to the watermelon rug. Then play games and make good times in the fun and vibrant playroom.

See what’s cooking in the Heeler’s kitchen; and decorate a pavlova like Bluey. But hold the edamame beans please

Venture out to the backyard for maximum play time around the poinciana tree. But wait…what’s going on in Dad’s shed? Look inside as more surprises await

Finish your day in Bluey’s Brisbane neighbourhood, complete with takeaway shop, playground, giftshop and much more

On the plus side, if anyone needs a doctor they're close by I guess.

I haven't been posting Council threads since the election because to be honest it's been so exhausting after the disastrous result of the election. But the last couple of weeks I've popped it on for a few minutes here and there, including right now.

Cr Wines is currently standing up in front of the Council and saying that he thinks polling booths were deliberately understaffed at the Council election as a tactic to make voters think "oh, the current incumbents are useless, I'm sick of waiting, we better vote them out." His evidence for this claim? In his Ward, only in one booth did he not come first, and he said he saw long lines at that booth.
