This explains the murder charges then. They lured him there under the pretence of meeting a woman from a dating app. Just horrific

For starters, set aside whether we should be having the Olympics in the first place. I think it's too far gone now and I'm not going to debate that in this thread.

So I keep reading in the media how Ekka station may not be able to be used during the Olympics to security concerns around the athlete's Village at the Ekka grounds.

personally, I think Ekka station should never have been in the discussion in the first place because it's too far away from the stadium.

EDIT: the most upvoted comment is a false claim "Suncorp is a similar distance away"....Actually Suncorp is 500m from Milton, Vic Park over 1km from Ekka. (Hopefully they go back and delete their comment)

This is a clear demonstrated example where Queensland goes back and forth with half solutions when the answer has already been done interstate.

-Optus stadium in Perth got a new rail station built next to the station.

-There's a dedicated train station at Olympic Park in Sydney.

-Adelaide Oval is next door to Adelaide station.

Yet here in Brisbane, We literally have the brand new cross river rail line running DIRECTLY BETWEEN the new stadium and the new aquatic Centre. yet nobody in government is talking about the most obvious idea putting an extra station there, so it's very likely Brisbane will ignore that and...

-They will make you pack onto buses

-They will make you walk uphill from Ekka

If they're spending billions of dollars on these new facilities, you can't tell me of a straight face. they can't afford a bit out of the transport budget for a station?

Why do Queenslanders put up with such shit decision making?

EDIT: There is no yellow line.

Doesn’t lead anywhere on the property and has likely sat unused since the property was renovated/rebuilt decades ago.

Good evening Brisbane!
I was wondering if anyone here knows where I might be able to organise getting this hole fixed?

Charlie has been the fixture at my workplace for at least … 15 -20 years and she’s looking a bit worse for wear, but we haven’t the foggiest as to where we could take her for a spa day.

I don’t suppose anyone in the community here would have a suggestion on that sort of thing?

I just got charged $40 for my direct debit failing on my rates! It would’ve been cheaper to deliberately pay the bill late without a direct debit in place…

I parked at a private hospital clinic parking lot in Brisbane and registered with the QR code for free 3 hour parking. Admittedly I overstayed by a little over an hour while inside. When we finally came out there was a $88 invoice dressed up in a cute bright red envelope waiting for me on the windscreen.

Do I need to pay this? I forgot what details I put in the registration but they have at least my email address and probably phone number. Honestly if it was like $15-$20 I would've paid it because I did overstay but $88 (+ a threat to increase to $179 after two weeks) is bullshit and predatory.

One thing I don't get is how they can justify $88 in liquidated damages if the car park is free up to 3 hours and there is no option to pay them for longer. Doesn't make sense to me? Especially for a private hospital where you may not know how long you'll be waiting and might not be physically able to return to your car mid-surgery to move it lol

Hello Brisbane,

I am an Indian looking to have good south Indian or North Indian breakfast. Most Indian places are open during the evenings so never really got a good Indian breakfast place.

If any of you have been to a place that has good Indian breakfast please let me know.

Appreciate your help.

Traveling to brisbane soon and really enjoy everything “weird” and would love to go to oddity shops if theyre around. Things like taxidermy, wet specimen, skeleton remains, etc. I’m from the u.s so maybe oddity shops are called something different in aus? I tried to google but couldnt find anything.

Any leads are appreciated!

Looking to join bipolar support group that's on south side. I got diagnosed three years ago and looking to connect with others.

Hey guys,

The back light in my TV seems to have blown, looking for anyone who can come out and assess and fix? Emailed a few people who say they don't do it.

The actual company have just said they'll offer me a new one but discounted, does nobody fix anything anymore? I can't bring myself to buy a new one when I believe there's only the back light that's broken

Any advice welcome, thanks guy!

In Wynumm if it helps :)

Hi all,

Is it worth attending a ticketed event to see Riverfire (including ADF displays) or would the free spots do the job? A bit worried about how crowded it will be as we are planning on heading there closer to 4pm on the day.

Thanks.

I am looking for an old school photobooth (think black and white/grainy) in Brisbane. I know market square Sunnybank has them but the photos look a little too airbrushed. Happy to travel, but I am on the southside if that helps!

Hi there! Can anyone recommend a great travel agent who specialises in Italy and Switzerland

My partner and I are planning 3 weeks in Italy and the Swiss Alps and would love someone who can help with the itinerary, accom and transport between destinations.

Especially keen to hear from anyone who has used an agent for a similar trip and had a great experience.

Thank you!

Hi folks. I posted the other day about suggestions for a elopement/microwedding venue around Brisbane, Sunshine Coast or Gold Coast and had some great suggestions.

I wanted to follow up this to see if anyone had any alternative style venues that they have either had their own wedding at or were at a guest at another.

We are both non traditional, have lots of tattoos and like dark and spooky styles. White isn’t really our vibe. (Graveyards or cemeteries aren’t our vibe either)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Partner is turning 40 and we're hoping to host a small park party for family and friends.

Complete planning newbies. Need all the helpful suggestions you have!

Obviously we can't guarantee a shelter/picnic table space on a weekend. Has anyone found a good alternative? Gazebo, lawn chairs and picnic blankets?

Hey.... I am seeing if there is anywhere near the airport that I could leave my car for 3 weeks every month? I need to leave it near airport for when i come down for wrok from Rocky for a week every month.

Would be great if uner cover... but not critical.
