A draft masterplan for the future of QUT’s Garden Points and Kelvin Grove campus has been put forward for public consultation, with major changes earmarked for the two campuses.

The 2018 to 2028 Draft Estate masterplan said the 10-year plan was needed because there have been significant changes to the university’s operating environment since the last plan was approved in 2009.

The draft plan said almost 50,000 students were enrolled at QUT in 2017 and were supported by more than 10,000 staff.

Following a five-year trail, a member of a neo-nazi gang has been found guilty of ten murders and sentenced to life in prison.

The majority were of Turkish descent, with one greek, and a police woman also among the victims, who were murdered between 2000 to 2007.

The chairman of the board of the ABC, Justin Milne has said the broadcaster's future is in digital only, and failure to invest in it now would cause it to wither and die in the future.

Stating the current political storm around the ABC as "situation normal", Mr Milne maintained the case for the ABC to ramp up its expansion into the digital realm.

"Let's be clear: if the ABC were barred from serving audiences on digital platforms, it would wither away and cease to exist," Mr Milne said.

$8 billion dollars in tax is lost every year through dodgy tax returns, despite a multimillion-dollar crackdown on workers by the Australian Tax Office.

Each year up to $8.7 billion in income tax is estimated to be wrongly claimed or lost because income has not been declared, with only $500 million of that sum ever successfully recouped.

The transition to a fully digitised system will only increase compliance by an extra $250 million a year over the next four years, the Tax Office has estimated.

The Bruce highway has taken out the first spot once more in the RACQ’s 2018 Unroadworthy Roads survey.

The highway was the most complained about from respondents with 94 out of around 600 respondents complaining about the road.
