00:00It's a race against time, but I have every faith that we can get it done.
00:04And that's why we implemented the plan.
00:07That's why we've stepped out what success looks like.
00:09And it's for every venue across the state.
00:11And I want Queenslanders to know that this can be our moment to shine.
00:16It can be the moment where the world looks at us and says,
00:19there is a state with its upright future header.
00:23Just remember, the 2,000 games in Sydney weren't awarded until Circa 9-3.
00:29We have time, but we don't have time to waste.
00:32Everyone's got a right to protest.
00:34But from midnight, this becomes a construction zone.
00:37And that wouldn't be safe, not just for them, but also for the workers.
00:41And we're due to put care on that.
00:43But they can continue to make a protest.
00:45Of course they can.
00:46Most Queenslanders would acknowledge in some ways a construction site,
00:49people don't have the right to protest.
00:52Now, they can continue to protest, but they can't protest in there.
00:55But when I first addressed you, you remember the figure that I said, green space.
01:01I said over half will be green space.
01:03And there were people, including those who continue to protest,
01:06who said that wouldn't have been possible.
01:08Well, as of today, it will be over two-thirds will be green space.
01:12So that's commitment that's been met and exceeded.
01:14So that's what we're doing.
