Victorian government in strife over missing Commonwealth Games documents

The Victorian government has been slammed by the Upper House for failing to produce necessary documents regarding the cancellation of the Commonwealth Games. Sky News Political Reporter Simon Love said the findings may be “in contempt” of parliament and investigative proceedings could be launched. “We know Victoria paid a large compensation sum of hundreds of millions of dollars to the Commonwealth Games Federation to get out of that contract,” Mr Love said. “The interesting thing now is that there are multiple reports that Scotland may take that money from the Victorian government and run its own event in 2026.”
