  • 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.

  • Cushla Dawson DATE: 16 March 2009 RE
    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 16 March 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 10 February to Monday 16 March 2009 Bronson Harrison following in Wiki's footsteps: In Canberra Raiders circles there are few compliments bigger than being compared with club legend Ruben Wiki. So as Bronson Harrison prepares to play his first game for the Raiders tomorrow night he can rest assured he has the complete backing of his teammates. Missing World Cup triumph only regret: Everyone from the coaches, Stephen Kearney and Wayne Bennett, and seemingly, through to the kit man have been lauded for their roles in the Kiwis' stunning World Cup win. But one man whose exploits are often overlooked is Roy Asotasi. Asotasi wasn't at Brisbane that famous night when the Kiwis upset Australia 34-20. He still had an arm in a sling, thanks to the torn pectoral muscle sustained in the last 10 minutes of his penultimate NRL game of the season. It dashed any hopes of captaining the Kiwis at the World Cup. Bennett rues letting Harrison slip away: It's not often that Wayne Bennett admits he got it wrong. But that was certainly the case with Bronson Harrison. About the time Bennett signed on to coach the Dragons, Bronson's manager, Sam Ayoub, shopped the Tigers back-rower to several clubs. Bennett was given the opportunity to snap up the 23-year-old but passed. The Kiwi international subsequently signed with the Raiders. Battle looms for Kiwi T'eo: Auckland-born Bronco Ben Te'o is refusing to comment on a possible battle between Queensland and New Zealand for his services.

  • Brisbane Broncos Reconciliation Action Plan a Message from Reconciliation Australia’S Ceo
    BRISBANE BRONCOS RECONCILIATION ACTION PLAN A MESSAGE FROM RECONCILIATION AUSTRALIA’S CEO On behalf of Reconciliation Australia I congratulate the Brisbane Broncos on the launch of their third Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)—a Stretch RAP. FOREWORD In opting for a Stretch RAP, the Brisbane Broncos have built on the learnings of their earlier RAPs, reinforcing and reinvigorating their commitment to provide sustainable employment and personal development opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I am impressed by the new actions in the RAP including the Beyond The Broncos Program which will help guide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youngsters to make good life choices. Further enhancing the two way relationship with supporters through community engagement is another strong initiative. I commend the Broncos for being part of Reconciliation Australia’s RAP program and for taking their RAP to the next level. RAPs are driving social change in workplaces, sporting clubs and schools around the country and, as one of 600 plus RAP organisations, the Broncos are helping to influence that change through their sporting and community endeavours. This Stretch RAP strengthens the Broncos’ foundation for real respect and understanding between Aboriginal and Torres Strait players, staff and supporters and their non-Indigenous colleagues and football followers. I wish the Broncos well as they embark on the next step of their impressive reconciliation journey. Justin Mohamed CEO, Reconciliation Australia 3 RAP.indd 2-3 25/02/2016 3:48:16 PM BRISBANE BRONCOS CEO: PAUL WHITE The Brisbane Broncos remain committed to the promotion of and participation in reconciliation through the association and activities of the club.

  • Murri Vs Koori Challenge Friday 12 February, 2.30–9.15Pm
    Murri Vs Koori Challenge Friday 12 February, 2.30–9.15pm Easts Carina Leagues Club, Creek Road, Carina More than 4,000 NRL fans are expected to celebrate Murri Rugby League at the 5th Annual NACCHO Deadly Choices Interstate (Murri vs Koori) Challenge this Friday 12 February at Easts Carina Leagues Club. Conducted by the Arthur Beetson Foundation, in collaboration with the National Rugby League (NRL), the Challenge will see the winners of the 2015 Arthur Beetson Murri Rugby League Carnival, the Southern Dingos from South East Queensland, play the 2015 Koori Knockout Champions, the Redfern All Blacks, for the title of National Indigenous Rugby League Champions. Institute for Urban Indigenous Health (IUIH) CEO Adrian Carson said the Challenge plays an important role in engaging Indigenous communities on the importance of taking control of their health. Mr Carson said “The gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians can be attributed to preventable chronic disease, with smoking responsible for up to 20% of Indigenous deaths. “Unless our communities are encouraged and supported to stop smoking, to eat healthier food and exercise more we will not close the gap in Indigenous health. This is what the Institute and our partners are aiming to achieve with our Deadly Choices Campaign and program,” Mr Carson said. The event is alcohol, tobacco and sugar free, with the Institute and Aboriginal Medical Services from across Queensland and NSW, delivering a range of health promotion and screening activities at the Challenge. The Deadly Choices Community Day carnival kicks off at 2:30pm with family-friendly activities including traditional games, a jumping castle, rock climbing, big slide, touch football clinic, teacup ride and face painting.
