Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs Former Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has torched her former deputy and successor Steven Miles, as well as the current LNP government, over the preparations for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.Speaking in her strongest terms since election night, the agitated former premier said she was shocked, annoyed and “quite sad” that the Games preparations had become a “huge fight over stadiums”.“I’m absolutely shocked at the state of this – if I was at the IOC [International Olympic Committee] at the moment, I would be saying, ‘what is going on, Brisbane?’ ” she told Nine’s Today show this morning.Annastacia Palaszczuk.Credit: Nine“When I left, we had a plan, we were sticking to the plan and the tenders would have been out now for the Gabba.” Palaszczuk said planning and construction would have started if her plan to rebuild the Gabba remained locked in.“Everything’s getting unpicked. I often describe it as like, if you’re knitting a sweater and someone pulls a bit of wool, it’s all going to come untangled and everyone is pulling bits of wool out of this sweater.”She said she had held her tongue about the Miles government’s decision to use the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre at Nathan as the main Olympic Stadium, which she described as “an absolutely ridiculous idea”.“There was a plan, we had 80 per cent of our stadiums locked in and frankly, I’m pretty annoyed about how it’s turned out, it actually makes me quite sad as well,” she said.
