@bayimports please dont get me wrong, not so much defending the current situation as a vague attempt at trying to find a "could be worse"

@SBW1 saying they're keen to host...but suggesting event be scattered across two countries and admitting he doesn't have the money...does just come across like a bit of publicity stunt, chch's main stadium is going to be a rectangle so cant even host the track and field

Don't care where it goes.. just drag this fluffybunny through the mud but make it stick, seriously why do victorians vote for this Ahole?
There's no effective opposition and the Victorian mentality is reflective of its founding. It's also the birthplace of the modern Australian labour movement.

Brisbane could host it together with Toowoomba. Huge amounts of free accommodation available there.....
Wellcamp report finds more transparency needed, but government deal was 'reasonable'
A report from the Queensland auditor-general's office found the government should have better considered other quarantine options such as home and hotel quarantine.

@MiketheSnow That's the attraction of the Comm Games. For sports like Athletics it's not really going to feature for the world class stars. Many of them have decided to give it a miss over the last couple of Games. But for the next tier of athletes or more importantly the less mainstream sports it is the pinnacle of a competitor's sporting career.
Tom Walsh was on the radio making this point yesterday. He said he liked the Comm Games but at least he has the Olympics, Worlds, Diamond League as alternatives. He felt for people like the lawn bowlers for whom the Commonwealth Games was the ultimate event for their sport

What I think here and what I do actually have little in common on this point (and probably many others in the MP life).
Really disappointed that it's facing struggles and mignt not continue as I think it's a great event.
But I've not watched it in years and think the last time I actually got proper interested in it was Kuala Lumpur. Couldn't even tell you where the last few games were held. But it would be a shame, especially for the competing athletes, if it were to cease.
