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". To fund that, the committee suggested a toll like the Sydney Harbour Bridge, joint council, state and federal government contributions, or an annual rates levy and corporate sponsorship.

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.

The father of a man who was struck by a projectile allegedly fired from a moving vehicle says it narrowly missed his spine and lungs. The 20-year-old man was walking with friends on Logan Road at Underwood, south of Brisbane, when they were allegedly fired at shortly after midnight on Sunday. The projectile penetrated the man's lower chest and is still in his body, his father Shibly Mustapha said. He will have to have a second surgery to remove it after a first attempt failed.
