‘People have information': Pheobe's mum in moving plea
Vanished teenager Pheobe Bishop's mother is convinced someone has information about where she is, issuing an emotional plea for them to come forward. In a social media post on Wednesday morning, Kylie Johnson noted it had been 20 days since the 17-year-old had gone missing. Pheobe hasn't been seen since May 15 after failing to check in for her flight at Bundaberg Airport. She was on her way to visit her boyfriend in Western Australia. Her bank and social media accounts have not been touched and police say her disappearance is suspicious. 'Starting day 20 with you still missing Pheobe,' Ms Johnson wrote in a Facebook post alongside an image of a Queensland Police alert calling for information about her daughter's disappearance. 'I don't know if life will ever be the same again? I don't know if I will ever look at the world the same way that I did before May 15th. 'What I do know is that people have information on where you are Phee and we need that reported to police.' Police say Pheobe Bishop's disappearance is suspicious. Credit: QPS On Saturday, Ms Johnson spoke of her heartbreak and worry as detectives to try and piece together her daughter's movements. In a prepared statement Ms Johnson told how her family's life had been changed for the worse since Pheobe's disappearance. 'This is a pain no person or family should have to experience,' she said. 'Pheobe was a beautiful, loving, kind person and every day not knowing where she has been is devastating for us.' While she still held hope Pheobe would be found alive, Ms Johnson said 'if the worst case scenario has happened, I at least need to know where she is resting'. 'Someone knows something and as a mum I am asking you to come forward with your information.' Police are looking for information and dashcam footage of the grey Hyundai ix35. Credit: QPS Pheobe's housemates, Tanika Bromley and James Wood, told police that they drove Pheobe in their grey Hyundai ix35, dropping her and her luggage at the airport for the 8.30am flight. But police say she never made it. That car and the Gin Gin house the trio had been living in were declared crime scenes in the early stages of the police investigation. There is no suggestion that Mr Wood, 34, or Ms Bromley, 33, are involved in Pheobe's disappearance. Both Mr Wood and Ms Bromley are facing unrelated weapons charges, stemming from a police search of their Hyundai during the investigation into Pheobe's whereabouts. On Tuesday, the Nightly revealed that Queensland Police have yet to fly to meet with Pheobe's boyfriend for an in-person interview. The teen is not believed to be a suspect in the case and is thought to have cooperated with detectives. Police previously confirmed they had spoken to the 17-year-old. It's believed Pheobe tried to call her boyfriend as she was being driven to the airport but the call cut out. He told the Daily Mail he could not hear Pheobe during the call. Unaware that anything was wrong, he went to the Perth airport and waited hours in vain for her to arrive. The greater Gin Gin area remains the focus of the investigation. Police are appealing appeal to anyone with information, vision or sightings of a grey Hyundai ix35 between May 15 to 18 in the greater Gin Gin area to contact them. Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000.

Court blocks planned protest for Brisbane's Story Bridge
A court has blocked a planned peak hour protest to shut down Brisbane's Story Bridge. Organisers had planned to blockade all six lanes from 8am on Friday, calling for the Brisbane City Council to dedicate one lane to cyclists and pedestrians. In his ruling, the magistrate said the protest would "compromise people's safety". "The balance here is the people who will be disrupted coming into town to work, the other issue is safety," the magistrate said. He said he agreed with Queensland Police Service's (QPS) decision to refuse the protest. The protesters were ordered to remove the event from social media and all public signage related to it. Acting Senior Sergeant Donna Kay told the court the protest would delay emergency services from accessing critical health care facilities and disrupt 115 programmed bus services, each one carrying about 90 passengers. Sergeant Kay said prior disruptions of this kind had flow-on effects, shutting down the CBD and major road corridors for two hours afterwards. She said the protesters' right to peaceful assembly was "outweighed" by the right for members of the public to continue their business free from disruption. "The protests are not being stopped, they're just being asked to conduct it in a safe manner. Footpaths on the Story Bridge footpaths have been closed since March following an assessment after Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, and the council has not provided a timeline of when they will re-open. Protest organiser Kathryn Good said she was saddened by the ruling but would consider other avenues to call for action. "It's disappointing, it's not the outcomes we were hoping for and it's not the outcome we were seeking from the court," Ms Good said. "We won't be giving up the fight to put pressure on council to open up that lane for active transport."

Police make court bid to stop cycling protesters blocking Brisbane's Story Bridge
Police will make an eleventh-hour bid to stop cyclists shutting down Brisbane's Story Bridge at peak hour on Friday. Queensland Police Service (QPS) will appear at the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Thursday to argue that the march, which would block all six lanes, should not go ahead on Friday morning. Protesters are demanding Brisbane City Council dedicate one lane to cyclists and pedestrians. The Story Bridge footpaths have been closed since March and council has repeatedly declined to say when they will re-open. Protest organiser Kathryn Good said council's detour was a "nightmare" that turned a 10 minute cycle into a dangerous 35 minute commute. "I'm personally aware of two people who have been involved in collisions while taking this detour," she said. "It takes you through really busy one-way CBD streets that don't have any protected infrastructure for bikes or scooters. "The point of protesting in peak hour is to point out the disparity between how motorists are treated when one major route into the city is closed for an hour, versus how active transport users are treated." She said the protest would not go ahead if the court ruled it to be illegal. At a council meeting on Tuesday, Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said the cycling activists would cause traffic chaos. "It is fully backed and supported by the Greens who want to disrupt the 96 per cent of people who want to use the bridge for the benefit of the 4 per cent of people who want to use the bridge." A QPS spokesperson said the court application had been made after talks broke down. "Police and Brisbane City Council attempted to engage with the protest organiser in relation to suitable protest plans, however mediation was not successful," the spokesperson said. "Under provisions of the Peaceful Assembly Act, police will lodge documentation with Brisbane Magistrates Court for a decision to be made with respect to the Notice of Intention to Hold a Public Assembly." The Story Bridge was made off limits to pedestrians due to the footpaths deteriorating. The Lord Mayor has repeatedly called on the state and federal government to help fund the bridge's repair. But on Tuesday Cr Schrinner acknowledged council had not actually asked the Queensland government for money. He said the council wanted to prepare a business case before making a formal request.
