The much anticipated Masterplan for the Infrastructure for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games was delivered yesterday. 

Premier David Crisafulli told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, "So the independent authority said to us, you do not have time to redo the Gabba because of the wasted time."

"And what is meant by that is by the time you displace two national teams, the Lions and the Bulls, you just don't have time to do that redevelopment with that displacement."

Whatever the result of the 2032 Olympics infrastructure review, it is clear that there will be a massive undertaking to build facilities to accommodate the games.

CEO of Master Builders, Paul Bidwell told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, "We are under great pressure."

"$107 billion over the next four years on the government's capital expenditure budget, and then we're in the middle of a housing crisis. Builders, big and small, residential, commercial, have all got plenty of work on."

"We just don't have enough skilled people to do the work that needs to be done. If we overlay the Olympics and another $7 billion, it's going to be a real stretch."

An Australian mother is calling for urgent action against fire ants after her son fell seriously ill following multiple stings on their property.

Torrential rain and flooding has caused fire ants to resurface with authorities receiving increased reports of extreme reactions to fire and sting across Southeast Queensland.

The Crisafulli government has announced $24 million to boost Queensland's efforts to manage fire ants across the state.

Invasive Species Council Advocacy Manager Reece Pianta told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, "This is a much-needed boost to the fire ant suppression efforts."

"Locals out there around Southeast Queensland are dealing with some really high
and intense levels of fire ant infestation on their properties and we're starting to
see the impacts of that on human and animal welfare."
