Whats your opinion of the Stadium debacle up there with the olympics hiney.
I don't think so. He's the sacrificial lamb.

Not that i give a flying toss about Queensland.
But surely there was a better option to take over from Palaszczuk then the clown muppet Miles who has the IQ and maturity of a 5 year old.
Covid saved labour in QLD from the last election. The witch up there pulled the parochialism card by locking out NSW during Covid which the idiots up there loved and fell for.
Crisafulli doesn't really set the voters hearts racing but he's a been given a golden opportunity by the current powers that be.
The ridiculous thing is they are spending what over 8 billion dollar's on all that public transport to head straight to the Gabba. Now they are heading to a wasteland like QE2. I've never seen something handled so badly. Someone told me recently the Gabba will be knock down in the next 10-15 years anyway.
And Suncorp will host the opening and closing ceremonies. I believe the review also stated that the Gabba will need to be demolished at some point in the future (though they never stated when). So far, the Olympics have been a complete clusterf**k and hardly anybody here wants them. A lot of merkins want to withdraw from holding them but we won't be going down the Dan Andrews Commonwealth Games road. That would make QLD/OZ a complete laughing stock on the world stage.
Suncorp and the Gabba with get 'modest' upgrades. This explains it all a lot better for the NSW merkins.

It's still a complete f**k up. QSAC will get a whole lot of dollars thrown at it. At the end of the day I feel that the Gabba knockdown/rebuild would blow out well past the 2.7 billion mark if it went ahead. Still, I've heard they're throwing a billion at the Gabba to pretty it up and conform to guidelines before they announce after the Olympics that they're tearing it down.
The Olympics will use 7 venues on the GC.
You've been around QLD, mate. Get a few k's out of the big smoke and it's like a time warp back to the 70's and they don't give a shit. Here's a case in point. The fires around Stanthorpe late last year had a significant impact on the area including damage to the historic train line between Warwick and Wallangarra. It's a tourist attraction (steam train tour) that draws money to the region that coincides with other events. The cost to repair the line was estimated at 20 million but they canned it recently and closed the line. This is just one other example of short sighted thinking.
And none on the north side near Woody Point, not even the Humpybong Yacht Club's facilities.
Yep. That’s devastating for that region. The dickheads in NSW let the train line south of Wallangarra rot into the ground as well. Such a shame.
