The legacy of Brazilian Carnival founder Robson Silva will live on this year in the annual Brisbane event celebrating that nation’s culture.
But Silva’s death last year gave rise to questions about whether the carnival would continue without him. However, his close friend, Victor Bakker, put any doubts to rest. “He always wanted the event to be family friendly, so we decided this year we will split entertainment in two different sessions for the grown-ups to have fun in the evening with bars opening.”Food stalls will showcase the best Brazilian food, a parrot will be present, and various dance and workshops will be on offer, including samba and forro performances and capoeira martial arts, with dress-ups welcome.
“Last year the guy who won was dressed as Noah’s Ark, with all the animals, and he even had a lady inside the boat – it was so random, but it was great.”

Paralympics Australia calls out 'injustices', fires warning for Brisbane 2032Australia's Paralympic sporting chiefs lay out their blueprint for the next 10 years — but the plan comes with a warning not to repeat the mistakes of Sydney 2000, where Para-sport missed out on increased levels of funding. What a waste of money for both the able and disabled games. Don't pump more money into the disabled games, reduce the money to the able games, so they both have the same funding. Use the money saved for public housing. 👍

South Brisbane apartment height limits increased to 270m in line with CBDThe change to apartment height limits comes as part of the council's Brisbane Sustainable Growth Strategy, adding a supposed 10,000 dwellings to the housing market. I’m not sure this is clever development unfortunately. Queensland frequently goes overboard on such decisions without thinking through the consequences. Inability to use Surfers Paradise beaches in the afternoon is a perfect example… Bring in 200,000 more people to Austtralia. Live in pods and eat bugs. I propose these tall poppies be built on platforms floating to guard against the day they're brought down to size. ClimateChangeWillChange
