WHEN the next clutch of International Olympic Committee members blesses the Sunshine State with a visit, Premier Palaszczuk should take them for a nice drive in the country. I d suggest the route I took last week from Bundaberg to Brisbane through rolling green hills and swaying fields of sugar cane that are all but ripe for the harvest. It s also a nightmare stretch of two-lane, bitumen filled with semi-trailers thundering bumper-to-bumper and grey nomads piloting swaying caravans, their rear-vision mirrors filled with the bull bars of heavy trucks. The opposing columns of vehicles on the stretch I drove pass within metres of each other, approaching at a combined speed of 200km/h. There are no barriers. A moment s inattention or a sudden distraction and you re dead.
