Created by an eccentric billionaire, officially in protest to politicisation of the Olympics, some think actually because he was angry at his own media companies not being given the rights to cover the Olympics, the Goodwill Games existed from 1979 to 2001. After the 2001 Brisbane Games, the event was cancelled due to waning interest.

With the increasing difficulty of finding willing host cities, it would be quite amusing if the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games were the last. We'd be like a curse city.

The main pedestrian and cycling paths on either side of the Story Bridge have been closed for over two months now, because of BCC's failure to maintain them properly. The footpaths are expected to be closed for the remainder of the year as they undergo repairs.

This petition, through BCC's official ePetitions system, calls for them to close one of the six general traffic lanes, temporarily, to enable it to be used for active travel.

Note that after signing the petition, you will receive an email. You must click the link in the email to confirm your signature, or it will not be counted.

My phone just made this collage. Nice memories as I just moved out of that house.
