Did anybody witness the police incident at Mt Gravatt Showgrounds this morning?

It seems that the owner of Her Wardrobe Markets tried to put on a market today at Mt Gravatt Showgrounds without the approval of the showgrounds. Police were called in to remove everyone for tresspassing.

What is worse is that Her Wardrobe Markets knew that they did not have approval, yet were advertising this event and were even taking money from stall owners. Stall owners are reporting on Facebook that they are out of pocket not just the stall fee, but also staff and transpor costs.

The whole situation is insane. More information is being posted on Facebook.

The laws will double commute times, disadvantage people who cannot or don't want to get a license, increase danger for cyclists who will be forced onto the road, increase congestion. And all while not doing anything about getting rid of illegal e-motos that are the problem to begin with.

All these laws achieve is to kill off legal active transport in Queensland and stop normal, everyday people using legal e-bikes that are slower than ordinary pedal bikes.

Legal e-bikes are the missing link that has finally gotten people out of cars and onto bikes and the Qld LNP doesn't like it. Now they're forcing they're shit worldview onto the whole of Qld.

I am sure this isn't a revelation but why the heck do I constantly need to click into a rental listing and then scroll half way down the read more of the notes to see that rent is going up (normally + 10%) in like 2 months.

im just posting about my frustration of how shit the busway closures are when they are unstaffed, unsigned, app still directs to the busway, the website is vague and not telling you what busses stop where.

Sorry this is super last minute.

Unfortunately my partner and I are unwell and can't go and we're too late to cancel and I don't want the tickets to go to waste.

Anyone want 2 x free Gold Class tickets for Super Mario Galaxy movie at North Lakes Event Cinemas start time 11 45am today? Starts in about an hour but there's usually ads at the start.

First come first serve, it's in digital ticket form with the QR code so I can email it to you.

Worth a shot, I don't have any other social media or anyone nearby to give them to so hopefully someone can get some use from them :)

So I got along to Sting's musical The Last Ship at Brisbane's new Glasshouse theatre last night (nice building, shame about the tightly configured seating and not enough toilets). I knew nothing about the play and hadn't read any reviews so didn't really have any expectations. I thought it was genuinely excellent. The second act lacks the energy of the first, but it does finish strongly and the cast and singing are uniformly very good. Then I read the reviews for last night's show in the local media which are seemed a bit lukewarm. I thought it was a solid four/four and half stars easily. Anyone else see it ? Thoughts on the play or the new Glasshouse theatre ?

Help friends of reddit, hungover Sunday has left me craving some truffle fries and a (filthy) martini. Any suggestions on bars/restaurants to visit today to cure my cravings?

Hey folks, i recently got a tailored suit from vietnam. The suits fits perfectly except around my lower back and stomach region on the jacket.

I am wondering if any of you experience with a good tailor or sew shop that can sew in my sides?

Thanks

Around Carl Street and Cornwall Street corner, it rings all through the night and is just loud enough for me to hear through my closed windows!

I'm free after 4pm both days. Are there any places locals would recommend for dinner?, or any attractions that are open in the evening on the weekend that I should see?

Be excellent to each other, r/Brisbane.

Very long shot, but… does anyone have an arducam IMX519 or one of the 64mp modules lying around that they’d be willing to sell? Earliest I can get one delivered is midweek and there are no local stores.

And were wondering why it was putting its hazard lights on for a few seconds, that was because I had my spare tire which was speed limited on. Really hope that didn't confuse anyone!

Got a flat in Brissie and was mildly terrified driving all the way back home to the Goldie

Sorry this is vague 🥴 A friend is trying to find a male psychologist they saw a few years ago. They worked somewhere around Ashgrove area but they can’t remember his name or the name of the practice. The psychologist had prominent tattoos (DC or Marvel). Does anyone know who they might be referring to? And if they’re still practicing in the area? Thanks 🙏

Hey guys, just curious - Im not often in Brisbane and found myself at Eaton Hills pub this evening and a large section of the patrons where dressed in leopard print - it didnt appear to be a single group( party) but the crowd itself - there was no signage about the event.

Just carious if any can explain what was going one, it was kinda cool to see everyone in a theme

hope you all have a safe and fun weekend
