00:02FIFA fever is sweeping Queensland and the government is jumping on the green and gold bandwagon.
00:11So this is really, really exciting.
00:14Overhauling trading hours for one night only, allowing pubs and clubs to serve drinks between 3 and 7 o'clock
00:22this Saturday morning when the Socceroos take on Egypt.
00:26The game must be up there on the telly, people must be there to watch the game.
00:32Well I'd be getting a beer and a brekkie wrap, I can't speak for everybody else.
00:35On the streets the reaction is mixed.
00:37I'm in support of anything that is going to get people watching the sport, absolutely.
00:42I'm not sure that 7am is a very good time to be drinking.
00:46I think it's good for the game, because it's been played overseas and so on, so absolutely, why not?
00:51Football fans are packing out sports clubs in big numbers.
00:54They're turning people away, they've got people queued up constantly.
01:00And the Attorney General is already leaving the door open to more overnight sporting celebrations.
01:07It is a trial, we'll see how it goes.
01:09You'll have a beer maybe?
01:10Well I actually don't drink beer.
01:12From beer to water, the Government has welcomed Unity Water's decision to reduce the planned price hike for next financial
01:20year.
01:21I'm pleased to see that Unity Water have also made sure that they freeze their water price.
01:29But there's no word yet if urban utilities will do the same.
01:33After the Government froze bulk water charges...
01:37Isn't that just the best?
01:38...in the state budget.
01:40We want to see urban utilities also follow suit.
01:44This has been a debacle, it's a mess.
01:46...
01:49...
01:50...
