News Gabba Upgrade & Olympics News

[M Malice]

Grace Grace Dumb Dumb.

 

[Zacs_Magic_Tooth]

Gee that Grace Grace interview was a tough listen. The legacy of QSAC will be Cathy Freeman apparently. With an upgraded Suncorp, this will be the best games ever. won’t be around anymore when the Gabba needs to be rebuilt so not her problem. Haven’t costed transport upgrades to Nathan. Extremely proud to be the first olympics to not uproot its running track.

On par with the Miles announcement for ineptitude

Frogs in the pot the lot of them

surely surely this dumb*ery ends tonight when he resigns and they adopt the findings of the quirk report in full and get on wit it

Dick who most likely is next in line called the Vic Park a "vanity project" yesterday

I'm surprised the media haven't made more of Cate Campbell's comments considering her status on the AOC Executive

 

[BRAB]

It is getting worse, not sure if it is old news but there have been no transport infrastructure budgeted for yet for the QSAC mini stadium.

State Development Minister Grace Grace has admitted the government has not yet factored in the cost of mass public transport upgrades to the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre in its budget.

Wait surely not. What are they spending the 1.6 billion on then? Surely temporary seats don’t cost that much

Courier Mail poll. Quite a difference from the polls yesterday. The case for and against each option is listed in the article, below the poll.

INTERIOR - DAYTIME - SIR HUMPHREY’S OFFICE

Minister Hacker: So if I understand correctly, our cost-reducing alternative Olympic Infrastructure proposal actually costs more than the original proposal that was deemed too costly?

Sir Humphrey: well, yes and no Minister.

Hacker: what do you mean?

Humphrey: Well it costs your government less, but the next government more.

Hacker: But it’s the same taxpayers…

Humphrey: Well, yes and no Minister.

Hacker: what do you mean?

Humphrey: Well when they pay for your proposal, they will be your taxpayers, when they foot the bill for replacing the Gabba they will be the next government’s taxpayers.

Hacker: But our new proposal was for the Gabba not to be replaced.

Humphrey: Well, yes and no Minister, your Infrastructure Department has indicated that the Gabba will need to be replaced anyway.

Hacker: So we have abandoned the proposal to rebuild the Gabba because it is too expensive, and are instead spending even more money investing in other stadiums, and now we find out we need the rebuild the Gabba anyway?

Humphrey: Yes Minister.

Hacker: Humphrey, that is outrageous. Won’t this be a big scandal for the government?

Humphrey: Well, yes and no Minister.

Hacker: What do you mean?

Humphrey: Well, by the time the scandal hits, it won’t actually be your government anymore.

The contractors new jet skis and ram trucks

The Lord Mayor hinted as much in his interview when he said the state would need to pay and cost it.

Very true - a public servant to the end! Will edit.

Tough call but understandable

For the first time in 40+ years I will have a modicum of interest in an election result.

It just beggars belief, just can’t get my head around the convoy of buses and taxis, **** me what about deliveries?

It won’t matter because nobody outside Queensland will bother coming to the Olympics anyway. With only 40000 tickets available for the athletics why bother. The number of visitors coming to Brisbane will be sfa. I assume the government has factored in the loss of revenue from ticket sales and the reduction in accommodation,retail and hospitality revenue by putting on a mini Olympics. Or is that beyond their grasp too?

True, although there has already been an increase in national and international interest in property in suburbs surrounding Suncorp.

Maybe they are one and the same.
