Part of me is inclined to say might as well keep going with the games, but then I think sunk cost fallacy.

Does anyone even care about the commonwealth games?

this was immediately snapped up by qld

One Mayor in Qld immediately proposed snapping it up. The Premier, Prime Minister, and the other Qld mayors made it very clear that this was not going to happen, or at least would not happen with their support. The rest of SEQu is already focussed on the 2032 Olympics.

As of right now, the 2026 Commonwealth Games do not have a host.
