00:00Parliament is back, and with it, a pledge on Olympics venues.
00:07On the 25th of March, all will be revealed.
00:11After facing questions for days on its stadium's position, the government has declared answers
00:16are on the way.
00:17Our delivery plan will provide a new way forward and get the Games back on track.
00:23The 100-day review will go to the government on March the 8th.
00:27From there, the government will consult key stakeholders like the International Olympic
00:31Committee and the Federal Government.
00:33Cabinet will then sign off on a delivery plan on March the 24th, before both the review
00:39and plan are publicly released the next day.
00:42We were told we would have an answer in 100 days.
00:45Now we discover it will be nearly 150 days.
00:48Queenslanders no longer want to be embarrassed on the world stage.
00:53More than 5,000 submissions were made to the review.
00:56Keep your promise, Mr Premier.
00:59You promised no stadium in Victoria Park, and we want you to keep that promise.
01:05In what was a heated question time in Parliament, the government tried to take aim at Stephen
01:10Miles over a recent trip to flood-ravaged North Queensland.
01:15He was on the red line in the Qantas lounge while he was tweeting, while he was tweeting
01:21about being with flood victims.
01:23The Deputy Premier tabled these photos.
01:26What a disgraceful opposition leader!
01:29It is not unlawful, it is not improper, it is not wrong for people to drink in licensed
01:34premises in Queensland.
01:36But of course, the LNP sought to make an issue of that this morning.
01:40Meanwhile, Labor's Jimmy Sullivan returned to Parliament after being directed late last
01:45year by Stephen Miles to take leave until medical and legal matters were resolved.
01:51I thank my leadership team for giving the time and space to address my health issues,
01:55and I thank members of the House from both sides for reaching out to offer a word of
02:01support.
