After Melbourne drops the Commonwealth Games due to costs, Basil Zempilas proposes Perth as the next host city via Xav and Michelle for Breakfast.
LISTEN:
“We should, we absolutely should be,” Basil said on Xav and Michelle for Breakfast.
“What Western Australia should be in the position to do…in particular Perth as the host city, is say to the Commonwealth Games Federation…”We’ll build an athletes village for $500 million that’ll provide housing for West Australians after the games for about 7,000 people.”
“You make your Commonwealth Games fit the venues that we’ve got.”
“We’ve got a huge opportunity to swoop in now, get it at the right price and do something defining for our city in this decade.”
