Brisbane's Story Bridge may go back to being a toll bridge if a funding deal can't be made to restore it, the city council says. An independent committee found the 85-year-old bridge would be unable to carry traffic within 20 years without a full restoration, at a cost which would be "beyond council".

Queensland's health minister says Monash IVF is being monitored after the wrong embryo was transferred to a patient at a Brisbane clinic. The national fertility provider discovered the mistake in February this year after the birth parents asked to transfer their remaining frozen embryos to another provider. The ABC understands the baby, who has no genetic link to the woman who gave birth to them, was conceived in early 2023.
