  Fitzroy River Olympics Croc Controversy | Brisbane News

  Sep 19, 20262 min

  Rockhampton’s Fitzroy River is officially set to host rowing and canoe sprint events for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics, sparking global debate over crocodile safety — despite assurances from officials and locals that estuarine crocs pose little threat in freshwater zones. While experts like Professor Craig Franklin call the decision reckless, the IOC-backed assessment praised the river’s conditions, aided by a historic barrage that separates salt and fresh water. Upgrades are underway, tourism is confident on lodging, but lingering concerns about post-rainflow disruptions and long-term use loom as Rockhampton prepares for the world stage.

  Australia’s Renewable Rush Faces Grid Hurdles | Brisbane News

  Sep 18, 20262 min

  Australia’s racing to power 82% of its electricity with renewables by 2030, but the path is blocked by a tangled web of grid delays, lack of long-term buyers, and political hesitation—especially as coal plants stay online because no one’s ready to replace them. With transmission projects in Victoria at risk and approvals still slow despite rising capacity, the industry’s patience is wearing thin. Yet there’s momentum: more wind and solar went live last year than ever before, and for the first time, renewables outpaced fossil fuels in Q4 2025. With hundreds of projects already in the pipeline, Australia’s halfway through its energy revolution—and the finish line is closer than it looks.

  Offsets Are Not the Answer | Brisbane News

  Sep 18, 20262 min

  Australia’s carbon offset system is under fire as big polluters use it as a loophole to avoid real emissions cuts. While offsets from trees or landfills sound eco-friendly, they’re unreliable—nature-based carbon can vanish in fires or decay. With climate chaos accelerating and El Niño looming, offsets aren’t a substitute for slashing pollution at the source. Experts demand a total overhaul of the government’s safeguard mechanism: tighter caps, no low-quality credits, and strict limits on offset purchases to force industries to clean up—or exit faster.

  Immigration Battle Shapes Election | Brisbane News

  Sep 18, 20262 min

  The government’s pushing a detailed immigration overhaul to curb overseas arrivals, with Minister Tony Burke unveiling tighter visa rules, crackdowns on overstayers, and restrictions on student visas — all aimed at hitting forecast migration levels. But as One Nation amps up the pressure, Labor faces mounting criticism for not going far enough, while opposition parties refuse to back them — leaving the government politically isolated. With no clear economic impact modeling and official data delayed until late next year, this immigration battle is set to dominate the political stage heading into the next election.
