The Story Bridge will close to ordinary road traffic for up to three weeks this summer — and tolls on alternative routes won’t be waived. What could that mean for the 100,000 vehicles that normally cross it each day?
This week, we look at what major decisions mean once they reach everyday life: Brisbane home values falling from their peak, Victim Assist’s total payments dropping as claims rise, the uncertain rollout of Thriving Kids in Queensland, the impacts of a proposed Swanbank data centre, and who pays for the infrastructure needed by a new community at Southern Thornlands.
We also visit one of Brisbane’s oldest surviving buildings as it goes up for sale, check the latest world university rankings, congratulate the Brisbane Lions on their three-peat, and examine the likely builder and still-unknown final price of Brisbane Stadium.
Then there’s the Brisbane 2032 emblem reveal… which didn’t quite go according to plan.

What should Brisbane feel like after dark—and what needs to change before the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games?
Adam sits down with John “J.C.” Collins, Queensland’s first Nightlife Economy Commissioner, whose experience includes touring the world with Powderfinger and operating Brisbane venues including The Triffid and Fortitude Music Hall.
They discuss why the nighttime economy extends well beyond bars and clubs, what J.C. heard while consulting across Queensland, the pressures threatening grassroots music venues, outdated regulation and liquor licensing, late-night trading and public transport, safety and connectivity between precincts, and the opportunity to develop a distinctly Brisbane nightlife experience before 2032.
This conversation was recorded in the green room at The Triffid. As it is a working live music venue, you will occasionally hear some background noise.
This is the public version of the podcast. YouTube channel members can watch the extended conversation, which includes more on the practical regulatory obstacles facing venues, the different nighttime economies J.C. encountered across Queensland, and his fuller assessment of how further reform could be progressed.
