How’s your prep going? Cleaned your gutters? Stocked up on toilet paper?

For menopausal women, the hormone replacement therapies Prometrium, Estrogel and Estrogel Pro – or estradiol and progesterone – will go on the PBS for the first time in 20 years. About 150,000 women using those treatments currently pay up to $670 a year, but this will come down to $380, a saving of $290.

Contraceptive pills Yaz and Yasmin, which are used by 50,000 women and typically cost $380 a year, will be the first new oral contraceptives added to the PBS in more than 30 years. Government subsidies will bring them down to $126 a year, or $31 for concession cardholders, saving $254. Both changes will come into effect on March 1.

Great that this isn’t an election pledge. It’s coming in on March 1!

The Quirk review is in and it has recommendations!

The Gabba:

… the panel estimates an upgrade alone would cost around $2 billion. A full rebuild would cost around $3 billion – more than the $2.7 billion estimated by the Queensland government – plus displacement costs for the AFL and cricket.

How about a new stadium at Victoria Park:

The review instead recommends the government build a new stadium at Victoria Park with 50,000 seats for the Games, and more to be added later for the AFL and cricket. And, as Brisbane Times revealed on Sunday, the alternative stadium would come at a cost of around $3.4 billion – $700 million more than the government tipped for the Gabba.

And how about a new Brisbane Live Arena venue:

Instead, it recommends building Brisbane Live at a the non-parkland northern corner of Roma Street precinct which currently houses a carpark and workshop depot. This corner was originally set aside by the former Beattie government for a landmark public museum-style building.
