I bet businesses and sporting bodies and people all over Oz are loving their PM right now, jeez...

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

yeah, they probably agreed to it when the queen was still alive.

Yes it is
He was angry at the Massive Costs


So Stopped it Dead


Who can take that now
China?

china are not in the commonwealth :laugh:

it needs to be scrapped

There’s already a thread for this.

Yes that is true
but they have the Cash to set it up

Is it in Sport Section?

Khan has offered London even though he is broke :think:

No to many young folk are
going to it
to perform.


Problem is what nation will take it?


Australia as shown how Costly it gets

Surely some of the Olympic facilities could be utilised?

But in 2026
would he still be the Mayor?



And does he have a Mega Loan Bank
to help him.

"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.

No, they are planning to build Luxury Flats there

Yes. Don’t question James choice in where he posts his thread on his own forum please. He will permaban you.

This Thread
is about the Politics of it all

No channel wants to show this bore festival

i thought birmingham earned a fortune from holding the games a few years ago

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)
