as part of queensland rail’s recruitment process , we use a third party software service called pageup . along with many other organisations , we have recently been notified by pageup that it has identified unauthorised activity on its systems which may affect some user information .
inland rail is making progress and the projects are in different stages . to view the status of each project , visit urltoken .
but historian greg hallam knows just how long residents of the region have really been waiting for rail to come to the region .
that long wait finally comes to an end next week when the first passengers make the journey from kippa - ring to petrie as part of an open day to celebrate the long - awaited rail link , to be known as the redcliffe peninsula rail line .
we need to significantly boost our rail system in seq if we are to manage our transport needs as a community .
the project is part of a $ 1 . 2 billion program of public transport improvements for the moreton bay region . the program includes the $ 988 million redcliffe peninsula rail line and the $ 37 . 5 million rothwell intersection upgrade which are jointly funded by the australian government , queensland government and moreton bay regional council ; and the $ 139 million lawnton to petrie rail upgrade project .

peter mares : sure . i take the point that passenger rail is being separated out and will remain in government hands , and the key issue here really , i mean the big , lucrative part of this trade is the coal trade , transporting coal . now michael roche , from the queensland resources council , no - one would be surprised that trade unions are opposed to the privatisation , but i would have thought mining companies would generally support the sale of public assets into private hands . what ' s your problem with the float of queensland rail ?

if you’re still skeptical about the quantum threat , you may wonder , “what’s the rush ? ” the emergence of quantum technology as a compelling agent for advancement and change has actually been a slow burn . the concept of a quantum computer has been around since the early 1980s , and we’ve known since 1994 that quantum algorithms ( algorithms only quantum computers can run ) will someday break our existing security standards . since 2000 , the european commission has invested more than 350 million euros in research on quantum technologies and quantum information , and we’ve seen that ibm , microsoft , google , and other american ict companies are leading the way in investment in quantum technology research and development . once practical quantum computing is achieved , the impact on data transmission and storage controlled and conferred by these large enterprises will affect all internet users .
