Former TV and radio presenter for ABC Qld. Food lover, wine enjoyer, chook appreciator. Amazed if anyone endorses opinions.

@SmartState1 @DavidCurnow Explain it to me, I just saw it as another CG promotion b4 ticket sales end. I know she'll make a great ambassador but significant news?

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

@SmartState1 I'm serious. Publicity stunt, with popular, talented Qlder. How is it in any way "news". Interesting? Ok. Good for Qld? Yes. News? No.

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

@SmartState1 Can't talk to decision making process within ABC, as I'm not part of it. But in 25 mins, why would Games Ambassador be important?

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

@SmartState1 News across the board has become populist and click happy, but accusing 1 channel of not covering a headline grab story is, itself, cheap.

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

@SmartState1 How? Cathy Freeman is a wonderful athlete and representative, and Com Games a great event for Qld, but neither warrants "news" now.

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

@SmartState1 How is it news? What part of "appointment of an ambassador" is contemporaneous or informative? "Local shops hold sale" just as newsworthy!

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

@australia2 @ato_gov_au @Telstra No. Haven't had the new one yet. But an onslaught of others. Obviously our number got sold recently.

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

Five #scam phone calls so far today. 3 claiming to be @ato_gov_au and 2 @Telstra. None seemed to want my offer of money in their bank acct.

@BradTrafficGuy Lucky it's not a rainy Friday afternoon or there could be a lot of cranky... oh right.

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

Breakdown on the Indooroopilly Bridge inbound. Expect delays. @BradTrafficGuy

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

@rainaashutosh I'm terribly sorry.

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

@rainaashutosh Ok, it's just that my current illness is leaving me incapable of spending much time upright, so I will not be able to be there on Saturday.

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

@rainaashutosh Hi ash, I've forwarded the info to some of my colleagues. I'm off work sick at the moment. Are you in charge of Saturday?

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

@rainaashutosh Hi Ash, I'm happy to help out again. See you there.

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

@ClaireHickey22 Sorry about that Claire. Off sick at the moment, and not sure of return. Was up your way recently, Thangool, Rocky, Yeppoon, Byfield.

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

@lance_arthy Hi Lance, in late 1800s my gr gr grandfather Francis Curnow was Qld Commissioner of Railways and children not old enough 2 B lawyers.

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

@DamienLMalcolm Hi Damien, off sick at the moment, so can't tell you more than that for now sorry. It's going to be a few weeks at the moment though.

[David Curnow @DavidCurnow]

So great to read someone else obviously far more qualified than I, coming to pretty much the same conclusions. @drinkqld @SuePyramidsRoad https://t.co/h8k63pVZCw
