Does anyone else think that WA/Perth should put their hand up to take this on?

I think it would be fantastic for the state, and we have the money (at least more than Victoria ๐Ÿ˜), and given the short notice it wouldn't look that bad if we didn't have the perfect venues etc.

I feel like if McGowan was still in he would jump on this! I think I heard Roger has already vetoed it though...

Don't all commonwealth games and Olympics create massive debt for the state and tax payers? I always wonder why they do it, just to put their name to an elite event so they are put down in history as enabling it, or what? does the Olympic committee pay them bribes?

just to put their name to an elite event so they are put down in history as enabling it, or what?

That's probably part of it, but it also gives governments an excuse to bulldoze neighbourhoods and reshape cities according to their own interests. See: https://nolympicsla.com/
