open our minds

The Commonwealth Games can survive -- and thrive -- if we think outside the box. There is no need to keep all our eggs in one basket.

Basil Zempilas says that it is "almost possible" for WA to host the Games.
Almost possible has the same meaning as not possible.

What we do have is the magnificent stadium. We could use the Perth Stadium to host Commonwealth track and field events.
Other states have, with NZ, recently hosted World Cup soccer. They are already set up to host the rectangular stadium sports of the Commonwealth Games. Other states can use existing facilities to host other sports.
Other countries could host just a few competitions.
There is no need for one state to build every required white elephant facility.
Spread the Games across the Commonwealth
Spread the cost and share the benefits.
