For all the #qldpol folk and Olympics haters out there, I'll be talking about the Planning (Social Impact & Community Benefit) Bill on @radioreversal.bsky.social tmw with my fellow planning and local government nerds, Jonno Sriranganathan and Edward. Tune in Thurs 9-10am on @4zzzradio.bsky.social

More on the Planning (social impact and community benefit) and other legislation amendment bill (qld) 2025:
I've already spoken about how this Bill gives GIICA the ability to avoid any meaningful development assessment for Olympic-related venues and infrastructure. I also wanna talk about CBA

Meme from Parks & Recreation showing Ron Swanson handing a piece of paper to a park ranger. Ron Swanson is captioned 'Crisafulli Government' and the subtitle reads "not to worry, I have a permit". The second part of the meme shows the ranger reading the paper, which says, "I can do what I want - Ron", which I've captioned Planning (social impact and community benefit) and other legislation amendment bill 2025

We draw on Anna's brilliant work on "crisis colonialism" to look at how moments of crisis and rupture can be seized by settler-colonial states to consolidate and expand their power, how settlers particularly get drawn back into complicity & out of solidarity, and how we can do better

Not far from where one of our producers lives! It seemed to last less than 24 hours though, you can now only see the top of his head. I suspect someone was sent out to paint over it as it's rare for artworks to turn over that quickly in that space

because the Story Bridge is closed to active transport my co-producers on Radio Reversal this morning are stuck on a bus stuck in congestion and my dudes, I am not equipped to talk about crisis colonialism without Anna Carlson?

Yeah it's a real "worst person you know does correct thing" moment. I'm glad they're not enforcing it (for now) but we also know we cannot rely on them
