00:01An apology from Queensland Police.
00:04This is a large waste of taxpayers' money.
00:09A Stones Corner building intended for police use, now a white elephant, costing $116 million over 15 years.
00:17QPS committed to the lease without funding or government authorisation, only to later find...
00:23The building itself is not fit for a modern police establishment,
00:28including the fact that we'd have to retrofit it with holding cells etc.
00:34The acting commissioner accepted all nine of the recommendations in a report by the CCC.
00:39The way forward in terms of Stoke Corner now is to continue our negotiations with all stakeholders,
00:44including Crown Law and the owners of the building to develop options.
00:48Local business owner Padma Yadity invested all her savings into a cafe at the front of the building.
00:54Oh, stressful. So I cry every day.
00:57She's still waiting for customers who never came.
01:01I have a family and I need to live. I need to survive.
01:05And I come here every day. You will see me seven days working.
01:08While the service is committed to looking into options to utilise the building through their lease,
01:13business owners are holding out hope that the premises will eventually be occupied.
01:17Every day they do some work inside. I'm thinking if not today, they'll come tomorrow. If not tomorrow, maybe in
01:26January.
01:26Queensland Police are conducting an internal disciplinary review.
01:30And of course, yeah.
01:30And of course the saying.
01:31Well, sorry.
01:31What you're saying.
01:31I cïcio for eating to looking for new messages and animation is
