* **In short:** A bill to establish an independent authority ahead of the 2032 Games has been introduced to Queensland parliament.
* An Olympics Senate inquiry today heard from former lord mayor Graham Quirk on the “complete blindsiding” his team faced when the premier announced new stadium plans.
* **What’s next?** International Olympic Committee member John Coates told the inquiry he wasn’t concerned about infrastructure delays, comparing Brisbane 2032 plans to progress in Sydney for the 2000 Games.
Does this make Victoria Park/Gabba redevelopment more likely or less likely?

Referendum?

Maybe the people should decide. And I don’t mean an election because the government can and will change their minds.
Ask the people first if
1. Hold the Olympics? Yes/No
2. If the Olympics is decided to go ahead, which is the preferred stadium option.

The Olympics _should_ be a catalyst for getting the facilities we want for a future Greater Brisbane with 4M residents. It’s a chance to get federal and IOC contributions toward those facilities.
So the two issues in my mind:
– what facilities, capacities, and associated infrastructure and services do we want/need to meet the demands of a rapidly growing region?
– comprable costs made under the same assumptions and conditions are needed for the short list options.

You know, there’s a park down the road from my house – you can build it there. It seems a good as place as bloody any at this rate.
I volunteer it as tribute.

No one will admit it because its too politically sensitive before the election, but everyone is flipping and flopping cause they know Vic Park is the best solution.
