The public rewarming of Queen’s Wharf Brisbane, a $3.6 billion megaproject led by shamed casino operator Star Entertainment, has begun in earnest.
Deputy Premier Steven Miles on Saturday joined Star’s new chief executive Robbie Cooke and Destination Brisbane Consortium’s Simon Crooks to cheer on development of the Sky Deck, a 100-metre-high platform of hangouts and sweeping city views: “The jewel of Queen’s Wharf Brisbane.”When opened by the end of the year, Sky Deck would hold as many as 1500 people enjoying restaurants, bars and a glass-floor viewing platform.
“We are on the path to regaining our suitability. We’re working closely with regulators. That is completely separate, though, to this project.“This project has continued and we continue to focus on delivering this for Brisbane for Queensland and for Australia.” Speaking to reporters from the Sky Deck, Miles sold the vision of getting off a train at the new Albert Street station and walking up the hill to QWB, then, if you fancied, making your way across the new pedestrian bridge to Southbank for a show at the new theatre or an event at the new Brisbane Arena.
From there, keep walking all the way to the Gabba on the council’s new green bridge and, at the end of a big day, come back over the river to the Botanic Gardens and then Albert Street station for the ride home.Queen’s Wharf“Queens Wharf Brisbane and Cross River Rail were the foundations on which we bid for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games and now you can really see them starting to come together.

China launches ‘hyperbolic and inflammatory criticism’ of Sky News special investigationChina's state-owned propaganda mouthpiece the Global Times was infuriated by the Sky News investigation, ‘Are We Ready For War’, for allegedly drawing attention to the Chinese threat. The Global Times said it is “not surprising” a media outlet like Sky News Australia has “increased its hype on the so-called China threat at the present critical juncture in bilateral relations”. “China's hyperbolic and inflammatory criticism of our documentary proves exactly why this sort of journalism is essential,” Sky News Australia Digital Editor Jack Houghton said. “When an authoritarian government wants to ban journalists from tackling these sorts of issues, that is precisely when we must continue with our reporting. “Xi Jinping may control his media, but here in Australia, we do not answer to dictators.”
