  "abstract": "We describe the final quasar sample from the Southern part of the All-sky BRIght, Complete Quasar Survey (AllBRICQS), which aimed to discover the remaining optically bright quasars using data from Gaia and WISE. We discuss our final selection and present a further 119 quasars in the redshift range $z=[0.03;4.35]$. This brings the sample of spectroscopically confirmed quasars with $G_{\\rm RP}<16$ and $z>0.1$ at Dec$<+20^{\\circ}$ and Galactic latitude $|b|>10^{\\circ}$ to 745 objects. The spectra from the ANU 2.3m telescope at Siding Spring Observatory cover a wavelength range from 360 to 950 nm with $R\\sim3000$. For redshifts of $z>0.12$, we expect the sample to be complete at $G_{\\rm RP}<16$, a regime that is usually avoided by large spectroscopic surveys due to detector saturation. We note that at least one strongly lensed quasar has escaped our selection.",
