Brisbane news live: First budget announcement today with multibillion-dollar pledge
Latest posts Latest posts 7.20am First budget announcement today with multibillion-dollar pledge The government's first budget announcement is set to be made today, with billions reportedly earmarked for a major energy project. Nine News has revealed $2.4 billion will be spent in the next four years on the CopperString development in North Queensland. Loading The project is slated to link renewable energy zones in the state's interior with the energy grid. It is due to be completed in 2032, and could cost almost $14 billion in total. Political editor Tim Arvier says the $2.4 billion announcement will go towards setting up a giant copper powerline in the east section of the development. 7.14am The big chill … continues Residents of our River City have again shivered through the night, with the temperature in Brisbane plunging overnight. With an official recorded temperature of 10 degrees last night, at least today is expected to be warmer than Thursday – a sunny day and a forecast 23 degrees are on the cards. And some comfort for the weekend: the lowest temperatures for Saturday and Sunday should stay in the double digits. Here's the outlook for today, the weekend, and early next week: 7.12am While you were sleeping Here's what's making news further afield this morning: Tension between Donald Trump and his former 'first buddy' Elon Musk has erupted into open warfare, with the US president suggesting Musk has a version of 'Trump derangement syndrome', and Musk sensationally announcing Trump is named in the Jeffrey Epstein files. A hidden announcement from the State Department about consequences for foreigners 'complicit in censoring Americans' has sparked a new level of global interference not seen from America since the end of the Cold War. Peter Hartcher asks, is this the beginning of a new level of interference? US beef could be allowed into Australia for the first time in decades through a biosecurity rule review to secure the removal of tariffs as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese prepares to meet President Donald Trump later this month. The questions came thick and fast, and the denials did too, as on Thursday. 6.53am The top stories this morning Good morning, and welcome to Brisbane Times' live news coverage for Friday, June 6. Today we can expect a sunny day and a top temperature of 23 degrees. In this morning's local headlines: The two housemates of missing Queensland teenager Pheobe Bishop have been charged with murder, as her mother has described how the family's world has been shattered. James Wood, 34, and Tamika Bromley, 33, are due to appear at court this morning. Attracting bigger events, more business tourism and new product development will be Brisbane's focus for the next 20 years, as the government continues to cement its plan to grow the state's tourism industry. Seven years out from the Brisbane 2032 Games, one question remains stubbornly unanswered: What is happening with our mascot? Three men accused of murder by drowning two people in a toolbox drank whiskey and played video games while they held their alleged victims captive, a jury has heard.
