Lucy TassellHOST
[gentle music] Queensland's credit rating has been downgraded from double A plus to double A by the ratings agency S&P.
Lucy TassellHOST
A downgraded credit rating means it'll be more expensive for the Queensland Government to borrow money.
Lucy TassellHOST
It's Queensland's first credit rating downgrade in 17 years.
Lucy TassellHOST
S&P said high inflation, rising interest rates, high wages, and weakening sentiment in the property market will reduce the state's budget position in the next two to three years, and cited Queensland's sustained high infrastructure spending leading up to the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics, reducing how much cash it's forecast to have.
Sean AylmerHOST
Many of the 40-odd lenders to the developer have now decided to go it alone, moving to take control of assets.
Sean AylmerHOST
Story number four, ratings agency S&P Global today downgraded the Queensland Government's credit rating to AA from AA+, citing the state's weak budgetary performance, the federal government's property tax changes, and concerns over its infrastructure program, including for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
Sean AylmerHOST
S&P said persistent inflation, rising interest rates, higher wages, and softening property market sentiment will likely weigh on Queensland's budgetary outcomes and fiscal recovery over the next two to three years.
Sean AylmerHOST
Now, State Treasurer David Janetsky labeled the downgrade as an inevitability, laying blame for the demotion at the feet of the former state Labor government and Treasurer Jim Chalmers.

Edward SchullerPANELIST
There has to be a broad scale cuts to the way that we're spending money at the moment from a governmental perspective.
Edward SchullerPANELIST
And then for the build, I mean, you talk about the construction costs, they blow out time and time again.
Edward SchullerPANELIST
The Queensland government has to change the laws so that alternative unions can register.
Edward SchullerPANELIST
Otherwise, they're going to be forced to deal with the CFMEU or some form of its variants.
Nathan BrooksPANELIST
Boys, do you think the New South Wales Government...
Nathan BrooksPANELIST
I know the Queensland Government got the Olympics in 2032.
Bryan FletcherHOST
Mm.
Bryan FletcherHOST
Yep.
Jason Di RossoHOST
And although the character's not much more than a retread of characters he's played before, I'm still here for it.
Jason Di RossoHOST
And a bit like Last Seen, Runner was also a production that benefited from the thirty percent location offset, which attracted it to the country, and the Queensland Government added an extra sweetener through Screen Queensland's production attraction strategy as well.
Jason Di RossoHOST
And yes, Brisbane does look beautiful for a few fleeting moments anyway before the blood starts splattering everywhere.
Jason Di RossoHOST
An interesting calling card for Queensland Tourism.
Gary HardgraveHOST
And the other bizarre story is this fight happening between people like the awesome foursome, rowing officials in umpteen countries around the world, and the Queensland government.
Gary HardgraveHOST
And I'm on record as saying I support the idea of rowing in Rockhampton.
Gary HardgraveHOST
I can't see why you can't do it.
Gary HardgraveHOST
So you'd have two dams and you'd create a lake And in between times, and for years to come, for generations to come, you'd have a flood mitigation response.
Gary HardgraveHOST
I think Rockhampton deserves that kind of big picture, long-term, multi-generational investment.
Gary HardgraveHOST
So why isn't the Queensland government talking about that? Why isn't anybody actually saying, you know, we can make rowing in Rocky work.
Gary HardgraveHOST
We can actually make flooding in Rocky a thing of the past.
Gary HardgraveHOST
Because we've got a bigger picture than just simply two months of temporary grandstands along the banks of the Fitzroy in the middle of Rockhampton.
Nicola RobinsonGUEST
That report and review was triggered by the horrific offending of a childcare worker in New South Wales and Queensland, Paul Ashley Griffith.
Nicola RobinsonGUEST
In response to the report, Queensland Government has recently introduced a bill to Parliament to establish a central safeguarding authority to be responsible for the blue card system, the disability worker screening system, child safe standards and reportable conduct scheme.
Nicola RobinsonGUEST
The proposed new entity is to be designed to reduce information silos between safeguarding functions and strengthen the way risks relating to workers are identified, assessed and shared across agencies.
Nicola RobinsonGUEST
It's also expected to have really strong information sharing powers and increased penalties for organisations that fail to meet obligations to keep children safe.
Nicola RobinsonGUEST
The Queensland Government has also announced plans for an intelligence hub to support the proactive identification of risks to children.
Nicola RobinsonGUEST
And that's kind of talking to some of the points you've made, Willow, about information from the public and subcriminal threshold information that, you know, isn't sufficient to progress to prosecution.
Nicola RobinsonGUEST
The Intelligence Hub is planned to collate all that information and detect, use those breadcrumbs of information to help identify future risks.
Alex BarwickHOST
Anthony Wheeler, KC there from the Centre for Public Integrity.
Alex BarwickHOST
