Re: Victoria pulls out of hosting 2026 Commonwealth Games

It's probably already been posted here but Commonwealth Games should just be hosted in the same city every 4 years, probably London makes the most sense. Clearly no appetite anywhere else to host it. Same goes for the Olympics. Might be a bit more complicated with politics etc but one city from each...
