Calling a referendum on the Olympic Games.
Not too late to do so.
Because Queensland's entire political class is complicit in the failure to consult from bid stage onward.
Plan R, paves the way for a referendum.

The CCC are wanting laws against lying political candidates I hear.
It'll end up with the CCC being locked out of investigating the 2032 Games and/or contractual irregularities related to them.
Especially if such laws define a broken "no new stadiums" pledge: a lie.

If I were Moreton Bay Council, and the QLD Govt: I'd start planning for a disaster cleanup response concerning spoiled food to around eight thousand customers.

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.
