More than 92 million people have used the city's light rail but plans for its final stage is causing a rift between city leaders.

On acknowledgement, Gold Coast mayor said "it is not efficient. You've got all the staff there, everyone is per hourly rate, I don't waste a minute on other things. We do our prayer, we do our national anthem and we get on with our business." https://t.co/GpDi0tYLln
Odd to see at the Gold Coast #ClimateStrike (yes there was one), 3 of the 5 people who gave speeches were baby boomers. All of the young people I interviewed were eloquent, passionate, smart. Maybe give them the mic? @abcbrisbane #auspol https://t.co/7G44pSMDEn
