Australian Kiwi Posted July 29, 2022 Report Posted July 29, 2022 On 4/17/2022 at 8:09 PM, Scotguy II said: I am just speaking the truth: currently in New Zealand we have: 1. housing crisis with houses selling 5 times there value 2. A healthcare system on the brink of collapse with striking doctors, nurses, allied health 3. Cost of living crisis with food at astronomical prices 4. business closing and empty shops everywhere 5. More and more protests 6. massive rise in crime including shootings 7. Record number of road deaths 8. record numbers of drownings 9 mental health crisis with one of the highest suicide rates in the OECD 10. Archaic immigration policy Can you specifically explain (in detail) how each of these issues you mention are unique to New Zealand, and in particular, how the current Government is fully responsible (which has only held a majority in Parliament for two years)? 3 Quote

SportLightning Posted August 1, 2022 Report Posted August 1, 2022 For 2034, here a link with Auckland possibly could host. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/commonwealth-games/129405691/government-looks-into-hosting-commonwealth-games-at-some-point Quote

Considering the decade long lead in time needed to host what will be chosen as an "upsized" Games, If the NZ Govt moved on it now, 2034 could be secured. Quote
TorchbearerSydney Posted August 2, 2022 Report Posted August 2, 2022 NZ is having an incredible Games in Birmingham (NZ topped the cycling for example, is second on the swimming)...This often leads to speculation! NZ could do lets say 2034 in its sleep (ie 12 years led in time)....not sure why it is so insecure in its abilities. And 2026 will show what can be done on a tight budget. 1 Quote

It seems like a country wide bid shouldn't be too hard or expensive for NZ to pull off. Has anyone done up a possible list of venues? 1 Quote

Brekkie Boy Posted August 8, 2022 Report Posted August 8, 2022 As nice as the idea of Jamaica hosting the Netball is they really do need to put the athletes at the centre of their planning and as much a couple of weeks in the Caribbean is tough for anyone to object too having them so remote from the rest of the games essentially removes the sport from being part of a multi sport event. One of the very few complaints about the Birmingham games has been the athletes being split out over three different villages. Quote

Different countries is entirely unnecessary. For Hamilton 100 to propose hosting events in Gibraltar and Jamaica tells me that they might not have the right people at the helm at this stage of the planning. Keep it focused on Southern Ontario.

Perhaps even suggests they don't have the facilities for it. I'm guessing shooting may be due to local gun laws making staging it too much of a hassle. That was essentially the reason it wasn't in Birmingham, though they could have staged it down in Surrey it they really wanted too. 1 Quote

All you need is an indoor stadium. 1 Quote
Australian Kiwi Posted August 9, 2022 Report Posted August 9, 2022 Exactly. Surely one of the plethora of universities in the Hamilton/Toronto region could do it. Not only that but Gibraltar just seems... like a choice given its history with Spain and the Commonwealth. It has nothing at all to do with Canada. 1 Quote

BigVic Posted August 21, 2022 Report Posted August 21, 2022 Hamilton/Toronto is likely if Vancouver misses out onm the 2030 OWG Quote
Australian Kiwi Posted August 22, 2022 Report Posted August 22, 2022 Surely Canada is capable of both in the one year? They're different provinces. Quote
AustralianFan Posted September 15, 2022 Report Posted September 15, 2022 The hosts of the 2030 and 2034 Commonwealth Games are set to be announced within the next 18 months. This is a very interesting development. Quote

The double-awarding of the 2030 and 2034 Commonwealth Games was already posted by @Victorian back in early August . Sorry I missed that. Quote
yoshi Posted September 15, 2022 Report Posted September 15, 2022 Still interesting though because it means they've got at least two candidates. Assuming that one is Hamilton and they've got 2030...where's the other one? NZ? South Africa trying again? Is there maybe more than one, for a real bid process? Quote
