Brisbane, Bundaberg, Gladstone, Gympie, Ipswich, Mackay and nearby areas will experience heatwave conditions over the weekend before temperatures ease next week.

The Queensland Crime and Corruption Commission revealed that the ex-Townsville mayor, Troy Thompson was not a member of the Special Air Service Regiment contrary to his assertions. His military service was limited to two and a half years in the army reserves. Medical documents indicate no evidence of cancer or epilepsy despite multiple allegations. Thompson disclosed confidential council data 32 times to a consultant. The inquiry did not lead to prosecutions but suggested changes, to electoral legislation. Thompson wore only his father's medals on Anzac Day 2024, casting initial doubt over his service. He was suspended on full pay in November 2024 after 18 months of council turmoil.
