Pauline Hanson’s floated the idea of a coalition with the Liberals after the 2028 election. But Ipswich’s already leading the way with an unusual coalition-style hookup of One Nation aficionado & @river949 breakfast radio announcer & local political dyed-blue Liberal @river949fm

Some truncations of messages on the internet are hilarious. Like this one I received this morning: The shortened version the actual message. 🤣🤣🤣

Should the new Cross River Rail be officially named the Elizabeth Line after Queen Elizabeth? Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie thinks so. Click to Listen: Point of View.

This morning, I attended the Goodna Special School in Queen St Goodna for their 2025 #ANZAC Day Service.
The Member for Bundamba @LanceMcCallumMP was also in attendance. It was a great tribute by the students, staff & parents to the original ANZACs at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915.

This morning I attended the Woodcrest State College #ANZAC Day service for 2025. It was a very moving ceremony and the students were involved and very attentive throughout. In attendance were @MiltonDickMP Federal Member for Oxley and @charismullenmp, State Member for Jordan.

Why is @Seqwater now keeping actual release times from Somerset & Wivenhoe Dams secret from the public? Until recently they advised when releases actually commenced but now just “planned for the next 48 hours”. Then when they’ve stopped. The public should be properly informed.

This is definitely a story for the “Hercule Poirot” of @9NewsBrisbane Josh Bavas to investigate the deep truth of this saga. Was his boss unfairly sacked? We should find out through the Fair Work Commission but a fearless journalist like JB should lift the lid sooner. @Channel9

It’s a pity that @Channel7 Brisbane is showing tonight’s @AFL Women’s Grand Final on its @7mate secondary channel but in Melbourne it’s on the main 7 Channel. Main channel viewers in Brisbane can watch Border Security and We Bought a Zoo. Yippee! @brisbanelions

Is this deceptive advertising by Costco? Save more than $1000 in a fortnight? Possible as long as you spend an estimated $5000 to save $1000. So you would lose $4000 to save $1000. Dubious Costco maths! @acccgovau will do nothing. @7NewsBrisbane @sunriseon7 @australian

Now that the genie appears to be out of the bag, intrepid QTQ @channel9 Brisbane reporter Josh Bavas should be put on the case to ensure the facts don’t get in the way of a bad story!

Not Fake News: This stunning story from QTQ @Channel9 Brisbane leaves no one but intrepid 9 reporter Josh Bavas to produce his usual type of report exposing the story behind the story. This career-changing journalist would be ideal to expose the deep, dark secrets of 9 Brisbane

Alan Joyce might be gone from @Qantas but the legal mumbo-jumbo from them continues with the @acccgovau breathing down their air-intake. Click link: m.facebook.com/story.php?sto…

The flip side! Does this mean you no longer get a discount from @allianz_au if you pay yearly? Doesn’t seem all that fair or reasonable.

Of all days for this to happen: The official B.O.M. Ipswich weather station at Amberley has failed to record or transmit temperatures back to the Weather Bureau in Brisbane since 4.00am today. However, at 3.59am it was -0.8°
at Amberley. It was -1.0° at Greenbank at 6.22am.
