Daniel Andrews refuses to name those behind flawed Commonwealth Games business case

Victorian premier says he is not suggesting ‘people didn’t do their best’ amid criticism that Games bid should never have gone ahead

The Victorian premier, Daniel Andrews, has conceded that the business case and costings for the axed 2026 Commonwealth Games were “hardly the greatest piece of work” but declined to say if individuals from the various organisations involved in compiling the documents were working on other government projects.

The documents, released on Saturday after the government reached a $380m settlement with Commonwealth Games organisers to cancel the event, showed the cost of hosting the Games in regional centres blew out from an estimated $2.5bn in April 2022 to almost $7bn in July 2023.
