We DON'T need it
No thanks
Bullshit. Lots of ifs buts & maybes.
Absolutely laughable. The “boost” would come from the QLD government borrowing more money and then have the taxpayers pay it back over the coming decades!
Take Tokyo , Russia has been banned essentially and who knows how the ‘virus’ will affect things come July 😳 Comm games were not beneficial for the economy , quite the opposite
Calling bullshit
Not wanted, not needed. Spend the money on more important things. Olympics becoming irrelevant
Islanders ; take China money & then lecture AUS over Global CO2 levels. Then ask AUS for more money. Coconuts to you!
Always ends up a net loss. Bad idea
Hang on, I thought planes and people were bad ClimateChange. Again it’s only us small folk who need to make the changes.
Much more likely to end up with $36 billion of debt
So many twitter experts with gold contributions like 'it's a waste of money' or 'no it wont' certainly demonstrates the depth of knowledge to arrive at such deep conclusions 😂
“Could”....my stocks “could” go up 150% today too...
The Olympics are a waste of money in the long term.
Depends if it's burning or flooding.
