Susan RixGUEST
But the fact of the matter was I could do a job and I was happy to do it.
Susan RixGUEST
And, you know, if I think about my government board roles, some of them were fairly large, Queensland Rail, Port of Brisbane, Queensland Rural Adjustment Authority, and now I've sort of come full circle.
Susan RixGUEST
I'm back chairing a board called CleanCo, where we make 11% of the state's clean energy.
Susan RixGUEST
And the energy sector is a sector of which I've had no previous experience.
Rob TyeGUEST
So glad to hear that.
Rob TyeGUEST
And I've had stories, I had somebody swear to me that they could get a flat pack delivered to the Port of Brisbane from China for $8,000 US and then it would cost them another $35,000 to put it on site and dig it out.
Rob TyeGUEST
Certainly seeing, you know, in the caravan space, groups like Ingenia are buying up a lot of parks to do that.
Rob TyeGUEST
A lot of pubs are looking to put cabins in the backyard.
Brett GoodletGUEST
I was helping them to get their, both their chain of responsibilities obligations sorted and also their mass management.
Brett GoodletGUEST
And we were actually, at the time, we were actually the first people to allow road trains from Toowoomba straight to the Port of Brisbane.
Brett GoodletGUEST
Yeah.
Brett GoodletGUEST
so we managed to get that through and they trolled it for 12 months and now every man and the dog's doing it but um so yeah that was really cool so i love doing all that stuff um i still do that for many companies so more compliant stuff um so it's kind of like a third party independent person to oversee their stuff like i'm working on one at the moment it's actually a construction site so they've all they've got all their safety procedures nutted out like they're they're fine but what most companies try and do is they'll then let a third party independent person to oversee everything and just to give some feedback give some advice so then if the shit it's a fan and there's an accident at least through workplace health and safety or the police if it's really bad they can say look we've we've tried we've tried everything and you know we've even had an independent person go over it so yeah so i still do a lot of that i actually like doing that because it's all desktop stuff like i can do it from home i can do it while i'm out yeah yeah Yeah, so that's really cool.
Brett SmithGUEST
Mm.
Bill ScottingGUEST
Um, access to Brisbane Port up the New England Highway.
Bill ScottingGUEST
Everything's there.
Bill ScottingGUEST
We, we just need the permit and then the financing, and then we're off at the races, and Brett's trifecta can come into play.
Brooke TindallHOST
Now, the Invasive Species Council is urging governments to continue funding for the fire ant eradication program that is set to expire in June next year.
Brooke TindallHOST
Fire ants have been in Australia since 2001, first detected at the Port of Brisbane.
Brooke TindallHOST
They've been found in other areas, like the incursion at a central Queensland mine last year, but their biosecurity zone remains in southern Queensland.
Brooke TindallHOST
Rhys Pianta, Advocacy Director at Invasive Species Council, says it's important to continue control activities for the future of Australian agriculture and our general way of life.
Melinda JennisonHOST
And of course, detached homes are becoming increasingly unaffordable in many areas close to the city region.
Melinda JennisonHOST
And just for perspective here in Brisbane, the precinct that creates the most jobs is the inner city precinct, followed in Brisbane by the trade coast precinct, which incorporates the airport and the Port of Brisbane.
Melinda JennisonHOST
That's just to give you an understanding of where the largest majority of jobs are located.
Melinda JennisonHOST
So When we talk about people want to live closer to employment, we understand that there's obviously going to be some other satellite areas around the city where people will work.
