Story summary

Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie's government has approved a massive development on the Brisbane waterfront, which will bring 2,200 new homes to the area. However, critics are pointing out that none of these homes will be affordable for low-income residents. The development also includes plans for a 50-bed hotel and supermarket. Despite concerns about housing affordability, Bleijie claims his government doesn't discriminate against types of housing. The first residents are expected to move in as early as 2031, but the project is not required to be finished in time for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
