At least we have those 50 cent fares on all public transport in Queensland.

Update:
The wind turbine that blocked a major arterial southwest of Brisbane has been cleared but Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding says the Mt Crosby Rd overpass could be closed for a year.
Diversions are in place with the Mt Crosby Rd overpass closed and motorists urged to seek alternative routes.
āThis accident is having a major impact on residents. Itās just the weekend now and yesterday was a public holiday, but this will have a massive impact on the residents,ā she said.
āOn the north side of the Warrego Tivoli to Carolee, all those residents. This will probably add 20 to 30 minutes each way to their trip.
āSo myself and the local councils have provided some advice to TMR on some local detours and where they could probably put some temporary traffic lights so weāll see what happens there.
The key fob for my Mazda wasnāt working properly,I had to be standing right next to the car for it to work. I rang Mazda head office and someone said take the key to my closet Mazda dealership and they could fix it ,replace the battery.If Iād tried to take it apart I probably wouldāve broken it .All good now ,its fixed and they only charged me $11š
I have another key so Iāll get them to check that one as well to see if it needs a new battery

I often forget that you donāt get any warning for speed cameras in The Education Stateā¦not that I speed anyway. In NSW youād have to be daft to get caught by a fixed speed camera as there is plenty of advance warning.

We have a lot of ādaftā drivers because heaps of people still get booked!
My only speeding infringement was in 2003, in a 40 km school zone that i didnāt know was there because the sign was half hidden by a tree and the road marking had half washed away.
I told them that and sent pictures, I had it overturned and the next time i was there they had fixed the signs and markings.

Around 12,000 people braved chilly conditions to walk across Hobartās new Bridgewater Bridge today, enjoying a historic stroll before the structure opens to vehicles on Monday.
The 1.2km bridge will replace the existing 78-year-old steel lift bridge, marking the end of an era for the historic crossing connecting Hobartās eastern and western shores.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese joined Premier Jeremy Rockliff to cut the ribbon on the new structure, which has been under construction since October 2022.
