The Bureau of Meteorology warns that millions of Queenslanders should prepare for several days of widespread heavy rain, thunderstorms and potential flash flooding, with some areas expected to receive more than 90 millimetres. The severe weather is forecast to intensify from Thursday through the weekend, particularly affecting western, northern and southeastern parts of the state.

The Run It Straight Challenge, a viral collision sport where two large athletes run at each other at speeds exceeding 25 kilometres per hour, has evolved from an online trend into a state championship event called Run Nation, which sold over 5,000 tickets in Sydney. Neurologists are warning about the catastrophic risks of high-impact head injuries, undetected brain bleeds, and second impact syndrome from repeated collisions. Medical experts are calling for the activity to be banned following a death in New Zealand last year linked to the challenge.
