SYDNEY - Australia’s Victoria state will pay A$380 million (S$330 million) to Commonwealth Games organisers, Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews said on Saturday, after it withdrew as 2026 event host citing a projected cost blowout.
Victoria in July pulled out of hosting the quadrennial multi-sport event, which was to have been held in four regional hubs, with Mr Andrews saying costs could have ballooned to more than A$7 billion from a budgeted A$2.6 billion.
The decision has raised the possibility that the Games may not take place for the first time since being cancelled due to the Second World War.
Never host even and wasted $330 millions!!!!
Wow! Why SCY never KPKB....🤣🤣🤣
