"What a condescending, patronising man. How dare he tick off the Premier of Qld publicly as if she was a naughty schoolgirl? Takes me back to some similar moments in my own career. Too many men in power need to take a really hard look at themselves."  Jane Caro

Well said.

John Coates is unfit for all the offices this most Machiavellian of sports officials has accrued to himself, including the one he so pompously brandished in the face of Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk on Wednesday night while pointedly turning his back on her: deputy chair of the Brisbane Olympics candidature leadership group.

Coates is 71, going on stegosaurus. Everything about the image he projected in his peremptory address to Palaszczuk at that media briefing was out of tune: with the moment, which should have been euphoric; with the world right now, which is tired and raw and could do with a bit of civility; and with the times, in which mansplaining is supposed to be going out of fashion.

well over it.
Cut ALL news of it.

you really are a moron. It has nothing to do with the Japanese and everything to do with the IOC

so the TOKYO OLYMPICS arent taking place in Japan in front of their own Emperor..is that what you are claiming.....idiot!!!the protocol is all to do with the HOST COUNTRY..dumb dumb.its called showing respect something you and your ilk wouldnt understand.

70% of the japanese do NOT want the games there.

no pet IT HNAPPENS AT EVERY OLYMPICS>>

how many votes do you think they would give to a country who as soon  as the got the go ahead pissed off home.

.......... And the games continue on, despite 83 percent of Tokyo residents wanting them canceled; despite pleas for their cancellation by Japanese medical officials and nurses already dealing with the current COVID emergency and hospitals at full capacity; despite several dozen Olympic athletes and officials testing positive for COVID and the fact that many of the athletes are unvaccinated themselves.

The IOC keeps going, despite even the most mainstream opposition and calls for accountability; despite the blithely racist punishment of athletes; despite its fascist overtones (and history).

The IOC continues to march on and threaten any athlete who steps too far out of line during the competitions themselves, just like they always have.       ...................

Because it's a COVID super-spreader event, and people will die because of it.

The Paralympic Games are due to run between 24 August and 5 September.

You don't have to be sorry but they should not be wearing skimpy little bikinis in any sport at the olympics, it detracts from the sport

The blokes wear what they do now but not always

they used to wear Dick togs/budgie smugglers

until they were deemed unfashionable

or sneered at by prudes like you.

I pray that bikinis for women never become unfashionable

& the wowsers can go take a running jump.

Cheeses, it barely started!

I am sensing  massive discontentment with the world, life, the universe.

Yep, been one day and I've had a gutfull already.  Much as I am no fan of Pallachook, she should have given Coates a slap round the ear for talking to her that way. Is she so enamoured of the Olympics she will take that poo from him?
