BRISBANE, Australia — A costly demolition and rebuild of Brisbane's premier cricket venue to become the main Olympic stadium in 2032 is among the infrastructure plans set to undergo independent review under a new political leader. Annastacia Palaszczuk, the Queensland state premier who headed Brisbane's successful bid for the 2032 Games, quit last weekend amid falling popularity. She is set to be replaced Friday by Steven Miles. The incoming state leader has confirmed an independent authority will be established to review Olympic planning. It has been a quick turnaround for Miles, who last month announced a 2.7 billion Australian dollar ($1.8 billion) Gabba redevelopment would go ahead after the government accepted a project validation report.
