Robo T-Rex!

First full day back of parliament; first Hard Hat Job of the new Bligh era:

We donned the fluro orange safety vests and hard hats on River Terrace at Kangaroo Point. For years it's been the site of a TAFE campus; but those buildings are now being demolished to make way for new public parkland overlooking the Brisbane River. Which is kind of nice, really.

What was really cool about this hard hat job was the method of demolition. No plunger linked to explosives sadly, and no ACME-brand wrecking ball, but what I dubbed the "Robo Tyrannosaurus Rex" was pretty fracking awesome nonetheless:

ROAR! ROBO T-REX DEMANDS BRICKS!
