Openly expecting "Infinity Planet" to end up like another failed idea of the sort that was pitched to Queensland: The Multi Function Polis.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was being pitched by the same people who wanted Sydney's Wonderland back a decade ago, just with another corporate front.

Queensland is still yet to complete a whole-of-government update to its appointment process for major board roles more than three years after a critical auditor-general report.
Queensland vowed to update board job processes in 2022. It still hasn’t
A critical Palaszczuk-era audit office report found outdated guidelines and practices for appointments and reappointments, but the key call is still in progress.

I'd be safe to say, if you are one of the 1,232 affected in Kenmore near 30hrs post-event on Sunday: I'd be looking at pushing Energex to pay for any spoiled food in fridges/freezers.
Hell: open disaster funding to allow these people to restock once power is back and fridge contents disposed.

I also cannot see the Kenmore power outage number shifting tonight.
From what I have heard from weather forums and the like (houses with trees through roofs, lots of roads closed/powerlines down): dawn tomorrow morning will be a significant revelation in that suburb to what damage has occured.

Wouldn't be surprised if some of the issues in Brisbane's western suburbs involve trees that were weakened due to TC Alfred earlier this year.
People will want power back quickly in these areas: tomorrow's forecast top (37-38c) will somehow add a aroma, the longer the power stays off.
