Honestly as a Brisbaner I haven’t got any problems with the IOC from the perspective of how it today treats the host cities. It has other problems, but not really host city problems any more.
Our own governments, though. Jesus fuck they’re stuffing themselves and the public around. Our federal and state governments and local council can’t figure out what they want to do, where to host the major events, etc. It’s an absolute fucking farce. And it’s entirely based on domestic politics.
