Toowong Private Hospital to be demolished to make way for apartments.

Developers (Carbon Property Group) have inevitably bought the 5900m2 site to build an apartment complex. It's zoned LMR so it should be limited to 4 stories.

Will they try and get an exemption to build higher knowing how chummy the Crisafulli Government is with Developers?

First Nations children commissioner calls for Queensland's circuit breaker bill to be scrapped

>Child welfare agencies have previously condemned the proposed camps, as camp operators would have a "reasonable" excuse not to report any harm to a child, if doing so could incriminate them.

Landlord kicking me out before lease is up

So I signed a 6-month lease for the place I’m currently living.

Now to preface, I live downstairs of my landlords home as it was designed, renovated and fitout for a perosn to live and pay their rent/mortgage.

Landlord said it’s a 6-month lease with the lease expiring in January 2027 but advised me that they will do a review after 2-months and if I’m not a suitable tenant they can out of the blue tell me I’m not suitable and ask me to leave giving me 14 days to do so.

In the contract in the back section where landlords can put in their rules or clauses it does state that after 2 months they will review and I’ve signed it, but they’ve given me no good reason as to why? I don’t understand why I’m not a suitable tenant. I’m quiet, respectful and tidy.

I had my cousin staying with me a few days out of a week for the first 2 weeks as he was having a mental health crisis so this may have contributed as he asked me about the person apparently living with me!? Which is false.

He’s also pryed into my personal life - told me I’m lying about my job and how I lost it when I in fact didn’t lose my job I was working at home from my
Computer. It just doesn’t seem right to just uproot my life and kick me out when I’ve done nothing wrong. Pay rent on time everytime even an extra $5 to round the $495 cost up to $500 ( I don’t like odd numbers lol)

Any advice? Does a clause, that actually contradicts RTA legislation and without a valid reason, can my landlord do thiS?

Moved to Hervey Bay!

Hiiii. I’ve been in Hervey Bay for almost a month now. As an Asian woman, I find it really hard to make friends or connections. Now I felt too depressed about moving here. I came here for work. I love the place btw, it’s a paradise for me. I tried connecting into local groups on facebook but they all gather on the weekends and I’m working🥲 I can’t find any sub that connects people in this place. Has anyone got an idea? Or anyone who just moved here as well looking to connect? I don’t wanna go for dating apps as I’m not looking to be involved in any kind of fuckery. I’m so scareddddd!

Scooter companies forced to fund river clean-up after mass dumpings revealed

E-scooter providers Lime and Neuron will be ordered to fund and work with a group that specialises in removing debris from the Brisbane River, amid fresh focus on dumping in the city’s waterway.

Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner confirmed the move after Brisbane Times reported the high number of devices potentially leaching toxic chemicals into the environment.

“We’ve contacted the operators and said, ‘Look, you’re going to have to do more to make sure that where scooters are placed inappropriately, including in the Brisbane River, they are collected’,” he said.

“They’ve indicated they’re willing to work with Ocean Crusaders and develop a partnership and provide some funding to do that, so I think that’s a positive step forward.

“We’re working to keep pressure on those operators to make sure those scooters are retrieved.”

One Nation claims a staffer was assaulted at their Ekka stall by a group of people 4 days ago. This is a very unfortunate situation, but why is there no police complaint, no ambulance record, no witness reports and no footage of this incident 4 days after it allegedly happened? Just curious

Bundaberg mayor reports parody Facebook page to police over AI-generated videos

"A Queensland mayor has taken action against an anonymous AI-generated parody of her that is circulating on social media.

The Facebook page was created a few months ago and has shared a number of South Park-inspired AI videos, all of which feature a fictional version of Bundaberg Mayor Helen Blackburn.

Cr Blackburn has made complaints to the Queensland Police, Australian Federal Police and the federal eSafety commissioner about the page.

It has highlighted the blurred line between what constitutes political satire and what is cyber abuse."

"On Tuesday, the parody Facebook page shared an update, alongside screenshots of the mayor's mobile phone number.

"We were told that unless this page is permanently deleted, she [the mayor] intends to escalate the matter to the Australian Federal Police," the post read."

Link to the page in question, Mayor Melon Blackbird.
