Legacy Queensland has been forced to sell its Brisbane headquarters, with public donations sliding by $1.4 million after volunteers stopped collecting donations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The veterans charity provides financial, emotional and housing support to almost 7000 Queenslanders who are related to deceased war veterans.

Thousands who braved the rain in Brisbane to add their voices to the national March 4 Justice protest joined a mass performance of a Chilean protest song about rape culture and gender-based hate crime.
After a minuteâs silence for women who had lost their lives to violence, the crowd chanted and danced to the English version of Un Violador en Tu Camino.

King George Square was packed with protesters for the march, one of many arranged around Australia following historical rape allegations made against Attorney-General Christian Porter, who has denied the claims.
