@7NewsBrisbane If the rowing proceeds in Rockhampton it is likely they will need to have Queensland Parks and Wildlife service Rangers on site to spot, trap and relocate crocodile sightings in the river on the section where athletes are competing.
@7NewsBrisbane Bogie shooter Daryl Valroy Young would have been much better off going down guns blazing in a shootout with the responding police than facing a mandatory life sentence which is a long term public cost for decades of potential incarceration he is expected to live.
@newscomauHQ I have a personal liking for governments targeting some deflation on the cards as an antidote to factors that cannot be controlled in the middle east. Things would suddenly become more affordable for people struggling below the poverty line.
@7NewsBrisbane@7NewsBrisbane Queensland is moving back to OPV for both State and Local elections in 2028 so it is better having the same system across all three levels of government consistently otherwise expect the informal count to have issues like the 2010 federal election, hung parliament.
@7NewsBrisbane I think Australia should change to optional preferential voting for the 2028 election, to really shake things up ahead of what could mark the death of the two party system, it is more balanced for parties having the freedom to advise people to just vote 1.
@7NewsBrisbane@7NewsBrisbane a change to optional preferential voting seriously needs to be considered for the 2028 federal election and adop the Queensland Beattie Government 1998 election, just vote 1 strategy to give voter freedom to stop unintended preference flows then and there.
@7NewsBrisbane the innocent bystander being hit by police gunfire really shows merit in the arming of police with knives and extendable battons to knock the knife free from an offender, rather than guns, having similarities to a Hornsby NSW shooting in 2016 where a bystander hit.
@7NewsBrisbane The Dolphins are really in a position that they could cause an upset to heavyweights like Panthers and Warriors provided they lock up a top four position at the season's end to get a double change in the finals week one.
@7NewsBrisbane The @NRL really needs a wildcard round for 2027, so more teams have a top 10 chance out of an 18 team side like the AFL is in 2026. Just like 2024 Brisbane has had its depth really affected by so many injuries, I genuinely give rivals Dolphins a chance at glory.
@Speaks_Div Dolby needs a new integrated media block IMS-4000 to replace or be a step up from the IMS-3000 that can handle the increased bandwidth of 4K 3D 48fps, it reverts to 2K resolution if it cannot display 4K at intended frame rate. H4D3 is perfectly capable of all future proofing.
@7NewsBrisbane A crash involving a car crashing into a parked car outside Mt Gravatt State School had to take a detour route home, I felt like this was just waiting to happen with too much street parking allowed near the schools on narrow streets, it is single lane in parts.
@7NewsBrisbane The Roxy Cinema in Wellington NZ was the only cinema in the Southern Hemisphere to screen Avatar 3 in HFR-3D combined with HDR by Barco which totally eliminates the issue of lack of decent 3D brightness that caused the format to lose popularity around the world.
@7NewsBrisbane It was a surprise to see that the future of the Avatar series was in doubt with over $2 billion at the Global Box Office, they are an outstanding 3D experience in premium formats like IMAX seeing it at Pacific Fair in January.
Avatar 4 is currently scheduled for December 2029 to gives cinemas worldwide opportunity to undergo technical upgrades to support the latest technology like DCI-HDR in cinema which has a 60000:1 native contrast ratio from peaks of 300 nits to 5 mili-nits compared to SDR 48 nits.
@7NewsBrisbane It is otherwise ruining what was supposed to be an uneventful opening match of the BBL for 2025. This feels like it could be a lot worse than the Bondi Junction shopping centre incident in April last having suspected terror links now to a targeted attack.
@7NewsBrisbane the Big Bash League live coverage needs to be moved to Seven Mate rather than the Border Security which has repeated showings on the network, to extend 7News coverage on the unfolding Bondi massacre on the main channel, which is not the best for family viewing.
@7NewsBrisbane@7NewsBrisbane if the age of 16 for the social media ban is upheld an argument could be had to introduce a lower R classification between MA15+ and R18+ to allow 16 and 17 year olds access to some high impact content that is justified by the context of a film or computer game.
@7NewsBrisbane the two 15 year olds in that High Court challenge to the social media ban have proposed removing the harmful content from the platform, potentially an argument could be had to lower the age from 16 to 15, as are legally able to access strong impact MA15+ content.
