Speaker 3 (00:08):
Well, we know that the commonov Games have been scrapped
by Premier Dan Andrews for the twenty twenty six. What's
the future of the Commonwealth Games? Who went, Yeah, it's
too expensive, We're not really that interested. Juna Ryan Hart
has backed a scheme where they would be co hosted
between the Gold Coast and Perth, saying that the athletes
need it. We're an important G twenty nation. We need

(00:32):
to have our reputation intact, important community event. How do
you feel about this? The Commonwealth Games they still pass
the pub test.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
I think it does to the athletes because for them
it's like a lead up to the Olympic Games. But
to me, I can give it a miss. I watch
for swimming that'd be beat all because I do like swimming.
Individual sports are very very hard on the athlete. So
I think that's why they need the Commonwealth Games because
they need that competition with other people.

Oh, I think you're past the pub test.

Anytime that athletes get to participate in sport and get
ready for the Olympics.

So yeah, I think your plans business. Very frustrated.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
Absolutely not. The Commonwealth, to tell won't exist soon. All
the nations are going to leave. We're going to become
a republic. You can't have events in pred and event
in Queensland and chief teams together. It's just the most
ridiculous idea I've ever heard. Scraped the whole thing. It's
something from the past.

The Commonwealth Games.
