There has been widespread debate about the plan for Brisbane's 2032 Olympic stadium, but in light of the new review all fingers are pointing at Victoria Park.

Sue Bremner, former Deputy Lord Mayor David Hinchliffe and their friends want to Save Victoria Park.

Ms. Bremner told Shane Doherty on 4BC Summer Drive, 'Brisbane has the least amount of green space out of any capital city in Australia. That blew me away when I found that statistic.'

'We need that green space to breathe, for the whole of Brisbane to breathe.'

Mr. Hinchliffe told Shane Doherty on 4BC Summer Drive, 'I can't believe that in the year 2025, this big, beautiful, international city that's about to show itself off to the world is contemplating ripping up, bulldozing a precious piece of parkland.'

FULL SHOW: 4BC Drive with Shane Doherty, December 24th, 2024

Every year the team at Suncorp Stadium host their annual Christmas Lunch for the lonely, disadvantaged, and homeless allowing guests to join in on the Christmas spirit.

This year will be no different with 200 guests in attendance.

Suncorp Stadium General Manager Alan Graham told Shane Doherty on 4BC Summer Drive, 'The idea is that we do a really good quality Christmas lunch for about 200-210 people from the community who need that extra support.'

'We are very fortunate that we have some great suppliers that help us out with the top quality food.'

'This is their celebration, they don't want to come along just to eat, they want to come along and enjoy the company and the celebration of Christmas,' Mr. Graham continued.

Suncorp Stadium's Annual Christmas Lunch provides opportunity to share the holiday spirit

Christmas is a happy time for many, but for some, the festive season can be stressful, challenging, and isolating.

Founder and Counsellor at Better Man Counselling, David Cantarini told Shane Doherty on 4BC Summer Drive, 'it's just a really anxious time and it's anxious for people who, again, want to put on a bit of a show when they don't have the money for it or they're tough through the year and so on.'

'So we have these sometimes unrealistic expectations on us and that creates a lot of uncertainty.'

'Anxiety does try to keep us safe, but it gets in the road of us thinking straight or being proud of our behaviour or maybe we start withdrawing or we avoid people or places or things,' Cantarini said.
