  • Brisbane Switches on to the National Broadband Network
    20 February 2013 Brisbane switches on to the National Broadband Network Broncos stars host first NBN-enabled rugby league coaching clinic in Australia’s newest fibre broadband location The National Broadband Network has today been switched on in metropolitan Brisbane with Broncos winger Jharal Yow Yeh and legend of the game Mick Hancock giving local children a glimpse of the benefits that superfast broadband can bring communities in Queensland and across Australia. Superfast broadband is now available to more than 500 premises in the suburb of Aspley, with the NBN fibre set to be available to a further 1700 premises in the coming weeks. Construction has already commenced on rolling out the NBN to 135,000 Queensland homes and businesses, with construction set to be commenced or complete for 678,000 premises in the state by mid-2015.** Other suburbs in and around Brisbane where construction has already commenced include Ascot, Banyo, Bridgeman Downs, Carseldine, Collingwood Park, Eagle Farm, Goodna, Hamilton, Hendra, Northgate, Nudgee, Petrie, Kallangur, Redbank Plains, Slacks Creek, Virginia and Zillmere.** NBN Co Lead Community Account Manager Darren Rudd said: "It's not just faster speeds but what they can enable that makes the NBN such an exciting prospect for people in Aspley and Brisbane as a whole," Mr Rudd said. "People can work from home like they would from the office; get all the family online at once and stream TV over the internet really smoothly.* "Just as importantly, services over the NBN fibre network are available at a price less than you might think and offer superfast speeds," he said.

  • Brisbane Broncos Proposal
    Submission 003 BRONCOS BRISBANE THE ROLE OF SPORT IN THE WELL.-BEING AND MENTORING OF INDIGENOUSYOUNG PEOPLE 1 Submission 003 1. The Broncos – Committed to Excellence & Understanding The Brisbane Broncos strongly believe that sport and sporting organisations have a significant and very positive impact on the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander young people. Rugby league has emerged as a key factor in some very positive statistics and research reports into Indigenous well being. Besides the obvious key health benefits gained through the promotion of sport and physical activity in general, it has been noted that there seems to be a sense of collective identity and pride exercised in the ways in which young people engage in rugby league competitions. (Nelson, 2009) It was also noted in Nelson’s 2009 study of Sport, physical activity and urban Indigenous young people that there is an obvious and very significant investment in the cultural artefacts of rugby league, such as football jerseys of their favourite National Rugby League (NRL) Team. It is this ideal that really exemplifies the fact that Rugby League, for many families - particularly indigenous families - is more than just a sport they play, with televised rugby league games described as a site of family togetherness. As one participant of the study explained, ‘we watch it [the Broncos match] every week. We have a little Sunday dinner for it.’ It is these values and beliefs that Indigenous communities hold about Rugby League that make it imperative that clubs such as the Brisbane Broncos run programs such as Learn Earn Legend! in order to improve the wellbeing of Indigenous youth.
