Still standing as of 2018?[edit]

Yeah, nah mate, took that out. Who was the drongo who put that in? The whole article is about the joint burning down, how the hell is it still standing in 2018? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.171.101 (talk) 22:27, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Co-ordinates / map[edit]

This article's co-ordinates are wrong. The building is at 356 St Pauls Terrace, Fortitude Valley, QLD, 4006, Australia. http://goo.gl/maps/Le8uH

I do not know how to fix the co-ordinates. Format (talk) 23:39, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Error?[edit]

During the trial the accused were restrianed by up to six police, not detectives. The police would not waste resources tying up detectives in such a role. They would have been general duties police.203.184.41.226 (talk) 05:06, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How did they ignite diesel? It must have been a different fuel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.84.8.196 (talk) 04:25, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

yep. diesel needs a temperature of 52+ celsius to ignite. would not have been that hot at 2am in Brisbane! 122.148.90.232 (talk) 03:41, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Connection to Kathy Sullivan[edit]

Kathy Sullivan (Australian politician) was originally known as Kathy Martin when she entered the Senate in 1974. I was living in Queensland at that time and I have a very clear memory of a newspaper story reporting that she had once been married to one of the Whisky au Go Go perpetrators. The marriage had ended some years before 1973 and she had had no further association with her former husband, and when the story broke she complained that she was being unfairly tainted by her political enemies by the airing of an association that predated the firebombing. But I can find nothing about this in my searches. Can anyone help? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 12:19, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
