I'm reading lots of headlines saying thst this is an embarrassment. However almost everyone at my work, here & on reddit seem really happy the the commonwealth games have been cancelled.
Before this it was all about how much money was being wasted on the games. Now the goal posts are just moved.
At least we know this is better for the state.
We must be pretty solid in our collective opinion in Victoria considering we keep electing a set of parties the media in this country are obviously and demonstrably biased against, hey.
The difference in coverage compared to what Gladys has gotten (who was found to be corrupt), is startling.
With audio recordings of the corruption.
