Does anyone else think that WA/Perth should put their hand up to take this on?

I think it would be fantastic for the state, and we have the money (at least more than Victoria 😁), and given the short notice it wouldn't look that bad if we didn't have the perfect venues etc.

I feel like if McGowan was still in he would jump on this! I think I heard Roger has already vetoed it though...

Fuck no!

We do have some money presently, but we should hoard it like a jealous dragon to feed health and education in the coming years.

There's no way we would make the $7bn revenue to justify the cost.

We don't really need the exposure either. WA is already an appealing destination for migrants.

I love the games too but in these troubled times someone else can pay for it.

Oh for sure, no way we should spend $7b, but we could half-arse it given the late notice. You know, the WA way!

The half-arse games! I like it 🤣
