rgmwa Posted Tuesday at 03:25 AM Posted Tuesday at 03:25 AM It would probably take around three years to design and build it starting from scratch. Even if it was built, I doubt that Trump will ever get his name on it. He will hopefully be in jail or in an aged care facility by then. 1
facthunter Posted Tuesday at 06:39 AM Posted Tuesday at 06:39 AM I'd be worried about it falling over. The Council wouldn't be game to question the Building Specs. Too busy divvying up the Bribe money. Nev 2
onetrack Posted Tuesday at 01:29 PM Posted Tuesday at 01:29 PM The developer who is charging ahead with the Trump Tower has been bankrupt previously - twice. So I guess he's in good company with a U.S. President who has sent six of his business ventures bankrupt. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-24/trump-tower-developer-went-bankrupt-twice/106379446 1 1
willedoo Posted Wednesday at 02:12 AM Posted Wednesday at 02:12 AM There was another council spokesperson on the ABC radio yesterday saying they have no problems with the developer being an ex bankrupt. He said deveploment is a risky business and lots of them go broke and it's a fairly normal part of developing , so move along, nothing to see here according to council. 3

old man emu Posted Wednesday at 04:02 AM Author Posted Wednesday at 04:02 AM So, work is started but the money stops flowing. The Gold Coast is left with an unsighly mess, and the subbies get screwed again. 1

red750 Posted Wednesday at 08:40 AM Posted Wednesday at 08:40 AM In his State of The Union speech, which went for about an hour and three quarters, numb nuts claims his tariffs could virtually replace the need for income tax. Other clangers in recent speeches, he claims the highest popularity ratings of any modern president, and confused Bermuda for the Bahamas 1

I’ve been there for holidays with the kids, when you live in Tamworth it’s a a glitzy get away. Plenty for kids. Now they’re grown up we don’t goes for parks. Etc. I do like to go to Twin towns for shows, a lot of good artists play there cheap compared to stadiums and the like. I don’t mind a walk along the waterways fishing either, for a city you can catch good fish. too much crime and crap to live there though. 1 1
kgwilson Posted Thursday at 03:15 AM Posted Thursday at 03:15 AM I haven't been there for at least 15 years but I've driven past it 2 or 3 times a year for the past 15 years when I am heading for Noosa. I did go there a couple of weeks ago but the only reason was to leave it for NZ via the airport. Populated by the very wealthy with all their flash toys who could not care less for the environment. Very pompous & lacking of any good taste in architectural design. A slum for the wealthy. It was named for the high cost of real estate & rapid development in the late 50s. Used to be the South Coast with Southport, Coolangatta & Burleigh Heads the main centres. It was probably quite nice back then. 2

onetrack Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Had a good laugh about the latest American, "shoot 'em up, and ask questions later", mentality. It seems that U.S. Customs and Border control were running a drone looking for illegal immigrants near the Mexican border, and they strayed into a U.S. military area. The Pentagon ordered their latest laser drone-killer into action, to defend against the "military threat", and blasted the Customs drone out of the sky, no questions asked! 😄 Naturally, Customs is furious, and is raging about everyone doing their own thing with no consultation (led by the White House, of course) - and even the FAA is getting dragged into it, with their over-arching control of airspace, and no reference to any other Govt authority. What a typical, complete CF, of American gung-ho adventurism!! https://edition.cnn.com/2026/02/26/us/pentagon-shoots-down-cbp-drone 1 2
