There were 341 noise complaints last October and 216 in November, according to Air Services Australia. The most susceptible suburbs appear to be Ascot, Clayfield, Bardon, Hawthorne and Balmoral, say the complaints. Interestingly, the closest home to the new runway is 6km, unlike Melbourne and Sydney, where they are within two kilometres.   Soccer writer Bonita Mersiades has issued a public apology to Football Queensland executives Ben Richardson and Robert Cavallucci as part of a defamation settlement over a story she published on her website. It has been brought to my attention that some people may have interpreted the article to mean that Mr Ben Richardson and Mr Robert Cavallucci were corrupt, dishonest, acted disreputedly and were in dereliction of their duties owed to Football Queensland in their respective positions as chairman and director, the apology said.
Australia s idyllic Sunshine State is haunted by a series of shocking domestic violence cases of women who have been brutally butchered by their lovers.
When Rowan Baxter, a deranged and controlling man who stalked and abused his ex wife, ambushed Hannah and three children in Brisbane during the school run on February 19, 2020, the nation watched the aftermath.
Cowardly Baxter doused the vehicle in petrol and watched his family scream in agony as they burned to death, then killed himself while trying to stop onlookers from saving Hannah, 31, Aaliyah, 6, Laianah, 4, and Trey, 3.
Their deaths were labelled a harrowing case of domestic violence, but Queensland - known for its breathtaking islands and white sand beaches - has suffered a sinister spate of family murders.
