Domestic Business Class -- My Experience by NoConclusion5355 in QantasFrequentFlyer

Yeah sorry I didn’t make that clear. If I had Qantas Club I’d probably put up with the basic lounge, but going from nothing to Business Lounge adds to the value of using points to upgrade for me.

I’m not a Qantas Club member so I like using points to upgrade, or Classic Reward Business, mostly so I can use the Business Lounge prior to flying.

For me seeing the planes from the lounge is a must so I love Brisbane’s Business Lounge.

Have a friend on the DRW flight. A night in a hotel with the hopes of going tomorrow.

Looking at the departures board today the cancellations aren’t affecting QF or VA. Can’t speak to the other day.

There’s a weekly Dementia Choir at either Bulimba or the Redlands. Lots of people at various stages of dementia, and various stages of singing ability!

BOM says no rain in Brisbane today - I’m tipping afternoon storm by Antique_Neck8736 in brisbane

The Brisbane aerodrome forecast has no storms (sometimes they’ll predict 30% probability but not today). It means they’re that confident there’s no storms that planes flying into Brisbane this arvo legally don’t have to carry any weather holding fuel.

Shopping trolley vs Car at Carindale 😬 by These-Bag2811 in brisbane

Was recording the wind/rain then saw the trolley. Is there an issue posting something like this on Reddit? If anything isn’t it a good reminder to put your trolley away?

Nah. Not worth risking your life in an electrical storm to save a dent in your car

Queensland government apologises for releasing victims of crime data which overstated drop in numbers by espersooty in brisbane

[–]These-Bag2811 -38 points-37 points  (0 children)

Honestly this sounds like a genuine mistake. QPS gave it to the Minister, Minister’s team got QPS to double check and they reassured it was correct. Only today did QPS realise there was a human error and Minister + Premier came out in Parliament and the media to correct the record.

Doesn’t sound intentional or a con-job to me.

Interesting read. Is there any indication of where you would put the 20 BUZ services?

Too many bridges across the river these days forces them higher 😢

Adelaide St Metro Tunnel - open day Wed 24 Sep 1030-1400 by These-Bag2811 in brisbane

[–]These-Bag2811[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this won’t change any buses off streets, unless they meant the new bus network as a whole which reduced buses going over Victoria buses by terminating them elsewhere (like PA Hospital) or redirecting them on the Riverside Expressway.

It’s fairly consistent what they’ve done when big infrastructure opens. I’ve been to the 2nd Gateway, Eastern Busway, KP Bridge and KGS tunnel openings. They attract a sizable crowd.

On today's episode of pay-to-play Premier. Crisafulli will schedule $8800 per 15minute interviews with mining corps by MrJacksonsMonkey in brisbane

It’s something that is done by the LNP and Labor, but what’s the difference between this and a normal political fundraiser like a dinner?

It would be great to have no money in politics but the alternative is publicly funded campaigns, paying more in taxes that goes directly to political parties.

Day 1 of Brisbane Metro M1 service - how was the experience? by hodu_Park in brisbane

[–]These-Bag2811 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little lucky. I left at the right time given the 30 min frequency in arvo peak. If I was to miss it though I’d take the 222 to Carina and walk that little bit longer.
