Big budget blow out for Brisbane Olympics
Feb 6^th, 2026 at 4:37pm

As Australians struggle with affording food, shelter and electricity the QLD government and Albo federal government happily waste BILLIONS on Brisbane Olympic budget b/s.

The Olympic Games no other country wants. Billions for a two week long sporting event very few care about.

Hot on the heels of the complete failure of the commonwealth games.

So much for the LNP being better financial mangers , eh?

I'm still slightly amused that despite thousands of noise complaints from Brisbane residents after Brisbane Airport's new runway opened in 2020 (and those complaints being largely ignored) they've decided to move the site of the Olympic Village because it would have been badly affected by plane noise.

Brisbane's Lord Mayor admits Olympic Village moved due to plane noise︱BFPCA

Quote:

Plane noise is the main reason the Olympic Village site was changed - but what about all the residents affected by plane noise in the same area?

Official complaints about plane noise in Brisbane far exceed those of any other airport in Australia. Unfortunately Brisbane's Lord Mayor, Adrian Schrinner, has no apparent interest in the wellbeing of Brisbane residents affected by plane noise.

But he is very interested when visiting Olympic athletes will cop the same plane noise. The proposed Olympic Village was going to be directly under Brisbane's loudest flight path.

No surprise there, of course.

That is a brilliant idea but my understanding that Greece ( like most Europe countries) are so overwhelmed with tourists )that it’s the last thing they want?

It’s billions of dollars for a two week athletic carnival that nobody is particularly interested in.

Cant the QLD LNP and Albos federal government spend our money fairly and efficiently for the benefit of all Australians rather than this crazy government policy of funding sports over health care or defence or any other essential services?

Kangaroo Land, it is the 21st Century. Who wants to see a bunch of NIL Olympic douchbags blood dope themselves into early cancers for a 0.01 gold medal without any god damn weed?

I know many families who moved to these locations because it was it was legal . I hope you have a happy/ high day! Do you grow your own?
