Wish you the same and to all the multi cultural communities celebrating š

They say a picture paints a thousand wordsā¦š©
So many frustrated commuters across the Queensland Rail network yesterday waiting for up to 45 minutes for rail replacement buses. š
Praise be, the #Springfield Line is one of the very few lines not directly affected by the major track closures in April - but there are some minor changes to the timetables over the next few days.

Hey there Could you include a direct link to the journey planner page? Like this translink.com.au/ TransLink consistently avoids placing links to their own resources in their track closure posts I’ve pointed this out many times and they have done nothing You’re in a better place than I am to have something done about it The track closure posts are not fit for purpose They don’t include: - links to the home page of their own site - a link to their journey planner page - Information about the limitations of rail buses - information about disability options for travel - a link to the page about the overall state of the network I initially contacted them via Facebook Messenger ages ago, last year, and heard nothing back from them I’ve taken this up with them again I can supply you with the ticket number of my recent case if you like You’re in a better place than I am to get something happening I learned something very off-putting about their internal communication They don’t automatically respond to cases That is, there is only a partial paper trail for cases I don’t know how a large organisation can work like this I’d like to see an ombudsman go through this obviously broken system Stay well
Buses arn't as fast as trains so ring yr wrk n let them know u will be late yr waiting in line for a bus.
Just imagine if we run out of fuel š¤

Thanks for joining and supporting! Great to see you again!
Kicking off this yearās Queensland Youth Week with a bunch of fantastic young people.
For the last three weekends they have been participating in the āClosing the Gapā workshop at the Translational Research Institute.
The brainchild of Dr Joseph Yunis, this workshop is aimed at inspiring high school students from migrant and refugee backgrounds to consider a future in STEM.
Thank you to the Yunis Abusodur Organisation Inc for their support and commitment to this terrific program.

Education for all šš» hopefully they discover something great in their careers
Should be open to all not just immigrants. š¤¬.
Love the sentiment, but just a heads-up—Closing the Gap is actually a specific initiative rooted in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and rights. Using it for other things might accidentally dilute how important that movement is. Maybe try a different phrase so the original meaning stays strong? Just a thought!

Jimmy Sullivan was not only my Parliamentary colleague - he was my dear friend.
I am deeply saddened by his death and I mourn with all who loved him.
Today our hearts are broken - for him, for his family and for what could have been. ā„ļø ... See MoreSee Less
