NRL: Jeremy Marshall-King has gone off after being on the receiving end of one of the biggest falcons in Rugby League history.
The Queensland government has made the surprising call to save billions of dollars on a stadium for the Olympics and hold the Opening and Closing ceremonies at Lang Park instead.
The review found “due largely to its age, the Gabba stadium is in poor condition, is operationally inefficient, inaccessible and offers very poor amenities for athletes and staff.’’ The total cost of that refurbishment plus the QSAC build would thus be $800 million less than building a completely new venue which would sit as a permanent upgrade on the Gabba.“Now, even if you keep it going beyond that date with some upgrades, at some stage, the Gabba is going to need to be replaced and it is never going to be a tier-one stadium because of the limitation of space.
“One of the great attractions of the Victoria Park site is that you not only have Cross River Rail and the Exhibition station, which is just about complete, you’ve also got Brisbane Metro stations at Herston, Kelvin Grove and Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.

LNP's Brisbane Metro Plan to Improve Bus CommutesMore than 54 per cent of bus commuters will have faster journeys under a radical shake-up of Brisbane’s buses – already approved by Translink – if the LNP wins City Hall on March 16. A further 33 per cent of commuters will be of the same duration on more efficient routes, while 13 per cent of bus commuters will have slightly slower bus trips, but have more suburban buses. The LNP’s plan introduces “two-seat” bus trips to Brisbane, where commuters take a suburban bus to a Brisbane Metro hub, and then travel by Metro through the CBD. Under the LNP’s $1.4 billion Brisbane Metro plan, the 60 three-car mega buses will collect passengers from suburban hubs - such as this one at University of Queensland -and carry them through the CBD on a five-minute frequency.At the 19 Brisbane Metro hubs, the suburban buses return to extra suburban bus services, while the passengers hop on to Metro rapid transit buses to travel every five minutes to the CBD
