@CrJaredCassidy Instead of sensible savings to keep costs down for Brisbane residents, you are peddling porkies and want to whack every Brisbane household with higher rates and more taxes in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis. Shame on you.

BCC Library Services staff have told us they are feeling the pressure of the Lord Mayor's cuts and want answers about their future employment. Instead of assuring them they were safe, he said their concerns were lies.

. @vickhoward: After more than 400 days advocating for the government to open the Pinkenba Quarantine Facility during the housing crisis, we are yet to hear when the State will activate this facility for short-term crisis accommodation. #qt #bnepol

The Greens MP and former architect who boasts about designing this inner-city high-rise building for property developers, is now shamelessly scaring people about high-rise buildings in the inner-city. Unbelievable hypocrisy! therealestateconversation.com.au/profiles/2017/…

@CrJaredCassidy The Aboriginal Flag flew proudly over Story Bridge last week for NAIDOC Week! If you spent less time navel gazing and more time looking up, you might have noticed the flag and beautiful NAIDOC Week lighting. Shame on you for peddling porkies to create division once again.

52 years ago, the Aboriginal Flag was raised for the first time. Last year, Labor's petition to fly the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags on the Story Bridge was rejected by the LNP Council despite 2500 residents' signatures. This LNP Council has got to go.

@CrJaredCassidy How clueless you are. We’re spending $3M on homelessness initiatives this year - $3M more than Labor ever spent. Even further, @bne_lordmayor announced $1M to help the QLD Government open Pinkenba. You should wash your mouth out for continuing to spread these Labor lies.

We asked the LNP if they thought spending more on the Living in Brisbane newsletter than on the Pathways to Homelessness Program was good value for money. Councillor Howard thinks a shiny brochure is more important than helping our city's most vulnerable.

@SteveGriffiths_ @lnp @brisbanecityqld @CrJaredCassidy @CrNicJ @CrKaraCook @lmoehlerich @MarkBaileyMP @PeterRussoMP @GrahamPerrettMP @Annerley_Labor @SalisburyALP @yeronga_labor I’m sure Third Space would love to brief you on their plans so you can share the exciting news with your local residents!

Lord Mayor’s Schrinner’s @lnp Team voted against my motion in @brisbanecityqld tonight to repair the #Moorooka Bowls Club and commit not to sell, demolish or privatise the site! Why is the Lord Mayor so against properly funding #Brisbane’s community and sporting facilities

@SteveGriffiths_ @lnp @brisbanecityqld @CrJaredCassidy @CrNicJ @CrKaraCook @lmoehlerich @MarkBaileyMP @PeterRussoMP @GrahamPerrettMP @Annerley_Labor @SalisburyALP @yeronga_labor Steve, stop playing politics. You’re well aware of the Schrinner Council’s investment to improve this facility & we’re looking forward to the new lessee moving in to transform the club into an exciting new community hub.

.@bne_lordmayor: Our investment in new and improved footpaths will hit a record $13.4 million next financial year - with 90% in the suburbs. #bnebudget

Cr Murphy: After 5yrs the QLD Government finally released their report into a bridge from Bulimba to Teneriffe. According to the report, the bridge would require a 30m clearance & regular pause points to recover from the punishing climb. #qt #bnepol @ryansrumblings

Cr @vickhoward: One of the industries most impacted by coronavirus was the entertainment industry and last week the Morrison Government committed millions of dollars to support Brisbane artists & event organisers, our live music industry & hundreds of small businesses #qt #bnepol

Council is calling on the next round of the artists to transform 70 ordinary traffic signal boxes into pieces of art as part of the award-winning Artforce initiative. Visit the @brisbanecityqld website to apply.

The average house cat might not be a fan of water, but these ones are! The new KittyCat timetable starts today. More details via @translinkseq 😺

Brisbane is bursting with more than 225 free or low cost activities on offer over the spring school holidays, with Council’s epic list of programs, parks and playgrounds helping to bust boredom and keep the whole family entertained.

Brisbane pools are splashing into spring, after closing due to the pandemic and winter maintenance. From 19 September, all pools & aqua parks will reopen, with Musgrave Park Pool now also open following a 12-month makeover.

.@bne_lordmayor has confirmed Holman Street, Kangaroo Point will be added to the #CityCat route as @brisbanecityqld works to reinstate Cross River and City Hopper ferry services. #qt #bnepol

.@bne_lordmayor: #Brisbane’s #CityCats and CityFerries will soon be operated by local Australian company SeaLink, securing hundreds of local jobs as part of Council’s ‘buy local’ push.

“It’s been pretty tough but every day we get closer to opening the doors & seeing a band on stage, it feels better. I just want the goosebumps back” I spoke with John Collins & Pixie Weyand about the impending return The Triffid & The Zoo for @inqldmedia: inqld.com.au/culture/2020/0…

.@vickhoward: The Valley Pool was one of Brisbane's first public pools, so it’s fitting that it will be the first pool to reopen for bookings from tomorrow. As soon as the industry COVID Plan has been approved by the State Government, more pools will be able to reopen #qt #bnepol

#BREAKING Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner has announced a $1 million lifeline for #Brisbane’s struggling community sports clubs.  He’s also called on the State Government to step-up to assist with their Bulk Water and Electricity charges that are hitting clubs hard.
