Good on you Peter Beattie you know as much about running the Commonwealth Games as you know about the Cronulla SHARKS; are you useless at everything?
Last night's closing of the Commonwealth Games in which the competing athletes were not featured was farcical
By half way through the ceremony much of the attending audience had left
Who gives a continental about singers. This was supposed to be a celebration of the competition and friendship of the athletes
They were shut out of the telecast
An utter disgrace, hang your heads in shame Queensland
Why should QLDers hang their heads in shame?
Many are embarrassed at the poor presentation & content of the Opening & Closing ceremonies.
Many are angry at the disruptions caused to peopel going about their daily lives.
Many businesses have been adversely financially affected by the lack of patronage all over the coast because people were advised to stay away & off the roads.
But please leave the blame squarely in the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee & Peter Beatties hands.
As I heard on Ray Hadleys morning radio show from a Gold Coast woman ...... the only thing Beattie became professionally good at in the 9 years he was Premier of QLD was "apologising" for the stuff ups, saying it will be fixed & promising for it not to happen again.
The exact same thing he's done after this cockup.
Gawd help the NRL.
He needs to disappear into the twilight/background.
