This is a political decision rather than a sporting one, there must be some compensation for reneging on a contract

But in 2026

"Frankly, $6 to $7 Billion
For a 12 day sporting event.

That is all cost and NO Benefit "


I agree with that leader of Victoria zone
said.

It's a wonder this stupid UK government didn't offer to bump up the money, to help Australia out.

Nothing would surprise me now.

'Here's £2Billion.' :rolleyes:

i've seen almost everything from last games


i also thought both opening and the closing ceremonies their shows were similarly great or even better than olympics shows


i feel sad for Australia that they can't host :( always such a strong powerhouse nation and the aussies is like our 2nd nation here in the family, we always support them in everything (World Cup, Olympics, Eurovision)
