Gonzo Posted March 19, 2024 Report Posted March 19, 2024 The independent Victorian Auditor-General today has released a report stating that the Vic Govt deliberately overstated the cost of the games. Auditor-General found that the Govt claim of $6.9 billion cost was overstated by $3 billion dollars. Also found that $589 million in associated costs was wasted with the cancellation Quote
Brekkie Boy Posted March 22, 2024 Report Posted March 22, 2024 No surprise - politicians love to understate the cost and overstate the savings of their decisions. Quote
Gonzo Posted March 17 Report Posted March 17 Happy 2026 Victoria Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony Day! 2 Quote
Alexjc Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 What an awesome Opening Ceremony that was! Same old, same old... Australia's fetish of a young girl as centre of attention. Indigenous opening welcome. A long dance and sing about the goldrush, Teams marching out to rap music played at 10000 decibels. F35 fly over, Kings baton read by the Prince Willam or Duke of Edinburgh. Fireworks to finish it off... Alas no... Quote
