Tomorrow is the day it becomes official
Still can’t believe Brisbane will be an Olympic City
Just shows the corrupt power of John Coates
Something not right here
Brisbane tells the IOC we can do it for $5 billion
Sydney 2000 cost $6.5 billion (in 20 years ago money terms)
$690 million for new venues/upgrades
Yet $1 billion already earmarked for the Gabba upgrade
Cooking the books even before getting the games must be a new one
Brisbane presentation/vote starting now
Is any other country in the race?
No, very dodgy manipulation done by John Coates creating new rules, where he was the Chairman of a new committee drawing up the rules where the IOC can pick a host without bidding
I should of googled. No other bidders to be voted on. IOC has a new process where they discuss with possible hosts and then put 1 up to vote on.
Lots of other cities rightfully ■■■■■■ off
Good article on it
For those interested
Koala, thank you so much.
Ive dropped “we’re from Dubbo ray” a few times and got crickets riding on tumbleweeds down vacant hallways.
It’s like saying “I’m Neville Bartos”…
Neville ■■■■■■■ Bartos you mean? 
Pssst… that’s not an Australian athlete even if he is wearing green and gold
It’s a one horse race lol. But we are doing it for queens landers oops I meant orstralia
And the winner is! Sydeny
Brisbane wins bid to host 2032 Olympics
Australia will host the 2032 Olympic Games with Brisbane winning the hosting rights to the global event.
Brisbane will join Melbourne in 1956 and Sydney in 2000 as Australian host cities with the successful bid.
While Brisbane was essentially the only contender still left in the hunt, after seeing off the lines of India’s Ahmedabad, Jakarta in Indonesia, Doha in Qatar, Rhine-Ruhr in Germany and Madrid in Spain, the Aussie city has long been the front runner.
It was pushed by the IOC’s Future Host Commission and was the only city to take place in targeted dialogue with the IOC.
The 87 members of the IOC voting committee put their votes forward, with Brisbane needing 44 votes to win the bid.
And then IOC president Thomas Bach said the magic words: “The Games of the XXXVth Olympiad have been awarded to Brisbane, Australia."
LOL at Palachook jumping up like John Fahey
