Yeap!! The then Premier of my State, Victoria, offered to stage them 
..... with the reasonable idea of locating different sports in different 
regional Cities .... so spreading the Development and Tourism Bucks 
around a bit.

Strangely, I haven't heard very much about it since .... and that 
Politian resigned from Parliament shortly after!!

And I haven't heard very much about the 2026 Commonwealth Games 
development since!!
