The state government also appoints a special manager after ‘major failings’ by casino operator

Fentiman said she was “appalled at the extent” of Star’s actions in welcoming excluded persons to their casinos and “the exorbitant incentives on offer for questionable gamblers”.

Fentiman said the deferring of the licence suspension was an “incentive” for Star to get its house in order or face the prospect of shuttering the two Queensland casinos over Christmas next year, after the opening of Queen’s Wharf.

‘Very important’: Remarkable fossil discovery made in QueenslandQueensland Museum’s Dr Espen Knutsen has discussed the rare find of a 100 million-year-old plesiosaur, which was recently discovered by a group of amateur paleontologists in Queensland. Dr Knutsen said the find was “very important”. “The thing about these really long-necked critters is that the head often goes missing,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “So now that we got that overlapping part, with the head with the body, we can now start unravelling all the diversity of these animals.”

That's an awesome way to create a shortage. Why sell for that price on the domestic market when you can 3 x that much selling it abroad This will lead to shortages Why this but not petrol like LNP did.

Patient wait times at Queensland emergency departments the worst in years, new data revealsOnly 68 per cent of Queensland public hospital emergency department patients were seen within the recommended times last financial year, new data shows. Wouldn't have to be if GP's were more accessible again. Ever since COVID it's impossible to see a GP, and tele health doctor calls are a waste of time. If you have symptoms and when it gets worse you have to go emergency because they're the only ones who will see you in person. Is this really news? I don't think this would surprise anyone but the health minister. No different in WA and Victoria, notably Labor States that have dessimated our Hospitals and Ambulance Service.

It's just another fictitious number. Amazing If the report is correct with it’s time guesstimate. Doesn’t that mean that if Queensland was covered by sea to which it isn’t now means that climate change was a deadly issue 100 million years ago. Maybe methane from dinosaurs breaking wind . So their fault they started it
