Verbatim (ABC, quoting Andrews at Eureka, April 2022)

A games like no other, exactly what we promised

We're very, very confident that this will deliver jobs, it'll deliver better facilities, better housing and it'll be a showcase to the world.

ABC places the lines at Ballarat’s Eureka Stadium when Andrews announced Victoria as host.

It’s a great honour to have Victoria chosen as the host venue for the 2026 Commonwealth Games – we can’t wait to welcome the world to all of our state.

Four regional hubs (Geelong, Bendigo, Ballarat, Gippsland), Shepparton events, Opening Ceremony at the MCG.

The other meter

Fifteen months later the same Premier cancelled. VAGO (2024): four-year runway vs typical 7–8; regional multi-city model never used; business case did not consult the regional councils that controlled most venues.

What this file does not do
