ABC Investigations revealed on Monday the business empire behind Chow Tai Fook Enterprises, a key backer of the multi-billion-dollar Queen's Wharf casino, had criminal associations, including through recent business ties. But Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman, who described the ABC's findings as "incredibly concerning", has referred the matter back to the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR), the same regulator that first gave Chow Tai Fook a green light in 2015.

Queensland education minister Grace Grace flagged the location of the school could change from the former Toowong Bowls Club after consultation showed the community did not support the site. She said she was "extremely conscious" of negative community feedback, especially after "disastrous flooding" earlier this year. It comes after Greens MP Michael Berkman said on social media today that the education minister was reconsidering the decision to build the school at the former Toowong Bowls Club — a decision he supported.

 Queensland's Education Department is docking the pay of 900 school staff who did not get the COVID vaccine, saying that ignoring the mandate put others at risk. Staff members including teachers, teacher aides, administration staff, cleaners and school officers will have a "small-scale temporary reduction of one increment of pay" for 18 weeks, the department said. "Approximately $25-$90 per week gross, proportionate to the normal pay that a staff member receives," a spokesperson from the department said. "The disciplinary penalty imposed on staff are individualised to each person's circumstances."

 There are fears the invasive fire ant, which can form a raft to move along waterways, may have spread during record floods in southern Queensland. The state government said  floodwaters moved too fast for the insects, but the opposition has called for evidence the risk had been assessed. Landholders, meanwhile, said they were worried eradication programs were not moving fast enough. The tiny pest has the potential for disastrous impact should it move unchecked and experts have warned it could cause billions of dollars of social, economic and environmental damage.
