Brisbane | Everything not saved will be lost.

@UrbanCourtyard @catitamatita Thank you for this! I see 14 parking spaces (incl visitor/service parking?), but do you know how many dwellings / bedrooms? In car-dependent Brisbane this Q looms large.

[Abraham O'Neill @AbeONeill]

Last year at this site a worker was impaled through the neck with a 30cm rod of metal rebar mesh thanks to the contractors BMD. The CFMEU had called the site “a disaster waiting to happen”. The $22m cost is allegedly thanks to protests. I wonder what they were about?

[David Crisafulli @DavidCrisafulli]

$22 million on one job site.

That’s the direct cost of the CFMEU to Queensland taxpayers on the Centenary Bridge duplication alone.

We’re determined to return safety for workers and restore productivity to our building sites.

It’s why we’ve acted and launched a Commission of Inquiry into the CFMEU in Queensland.

@SustainableTall Looks stunning. Zero car parking as well, which is surely why the ground level is so functional!

[Abraham O'Neill @AbeONeill]

@wheelreinvent The pro fares mob thinks price signals have minuscule effects on patronage EXCEPT in the FTZ, where they induce people to ride 400m in a sardine can instead of walking in comfort. Oh and overcrowding will destroy ridership on suburban services while in the FTZ it does nothing!

@SCGWalker @googledegreeguy Joe gets accused of voting to make it harder to get an abortion because that’s what he did

[Abraham O'Neill @AbeONeill]

TFW you voted with the LNP to make it harder to get an abortion but now the Greens are after your seat you’re regretting it

[Abraham O'Neill @AbeONeill]

My “I’m pro choice” shirt is creating a lot of questions already answered on the shirt

[Abraham O'Neill @AbeONeill]

TFW you voted with the LNP to make it harder to get an abortion but now the Greens are after your seat you’re regretting it

[Abraham O'Neill @AbeONeill]

@googledegreeguy This is what Steven Miles said about the LNP amendment that Joe voted for after “great consideration”

[Abraham O'Neill @AbeONeill]

@googledegreeguy Miller voted against you muppet

[Abraham O'Neill @AbeONeill]

Is it possibly because the 500,000 numbers is 100% made up?

[Peter Tulip @peter_tulip]

How does the Coalition’s enabling infrastructure deliver so much housing (500,000 homes) for so little money ($5billion)? That’s only $10k a home.
Because the government doesn’t need to spend much to get more housing.
It just needs to remove obstacles then get out of the way. 1/4

[Abraham O'Neill @AbeONeill]

This means: “We cancelled a Federally funded bus/train interchange project and they agreed not to pull the funding and instead let us go back to the drawing board”

[Abraham O'Neill @AbeONeill]

@UnwalkableBris1 I have never seen the Qld govt report any figures for how many people picked “public transport” in their surveys. Someone with some time should RTI it.

[Abraham O'Neill @AbeONeill]

Our job is to cut transport pollution, make it easy to get around and make the city better, not to build the world’s most beautiful database. A tiny extra expense ($79m next FY vs $1.5bn in running costs) would fundamentally transform residents’ relationship with public transport

[Abraham O'Neill @AbeONeill]

Everyone telling us free PT is bad because we need user data: why? We’ve had go-card for 15y+ and during that time almost all services have stagnated. What’s missing has always been political will- the kind that’s built by a mass constituency of public transport users.

[Abraham O'Neill @AbeONeill]

Most importantly, user data doesn’t show the most crucial thing: where services are missing causing people to drive. That’s the problem we need to tackle, and we already know how to do it: frequent, traffic-free services with good interconnections, covering major destinations.

[Abraham O'Neill @AbeONeill]

@pittmaniacal Nathan I respect your other work but there is no such thing as daily, weekly or annual passes in Brisbane.

Even if there was, how many low income people do you think are going to take the expensive gamble that they’ll keep taking PT five days per week?

[Abraham O'Neill @AbeONeill]

Great news: Labor’s regime of administration is successfully rooting out sexism at the CFMEU!

[Max Chandler-Mather @MChandlerMather]

Labor & Libs are going to pass the most draconian, anti-worker laws this country has seen. Whatever you think of the CFMEU this worry u deeply. Labor has set a precedent where parliament can seize control of a civil society group opposing the gov & suspend their basic rights🧵
