Queensland has just hosted the Commonwealth
Games - & yet - you could be forgiven for asking
whether, really, it was Th’ Gold Coast that did th’
deed; well true, most Games facilities were sited
down in Southport - this side o’ the NSW border,
so there’s no greed inbred about which State got
th’ cake but t’ hear those Coasties rant on about
how damned good they were at staging things -
Even in face of erring outrageously on programs
as well as crowd safety they claim they’re better
equipped to bid for an Olympic Games venue in
2026 than anybody; and surely that says clearly
they’re Queenslanders at heart - so maybe we’ll
be just - & let ‘em in, whether they like it or not
