Victoria to pay $380m compensation for cancelling 2026 Commonwealth Games
www.abc.net.au
The State of Victoria has agreed to pay the Commonwealth Games parties $380 million in compensation after pulling out of the 2026 regional event.

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?

    It is simple math, the penalty for not hosting vs the cost of hosting. It seems thing was going to have a negative cost much more than the penalty so they decided to withdraw. People who are angry are thinking with their heart, not their head (or will just whinge about anything)

      The people complaining are the same ones that would be angry if the games went ahead and cost $7 billion.
