Western Sydney bid for 2026 Commonwealth Games would fast-track infrastructure and housing, Foley says

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-20/b ... tion=sport

Western Sydney should make a bid to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games because it would fast-track critical transport infrastructure and affordable housing in the region, New South Wales Opposition Leader Luke Foley says

His comments come as the chief executive of the Australian Commonwealth Games Association, Craig Phillips, wrote last week to the states seeking expressions of interest to host the 2026 or 2030 Games.

Mr Foley said a successful bid by western Sydney to host the sporting competition would offer a "pressing deadline" for the delivery of transport infrastructure and new affordable housing in the region.

Western Sydney was "uniquely placed" and could afford to host the Games because the region already had the sporting facilities from the Sydney 2000 Olympics, he said.

Mr Foley agreed that transport and housing infrastructure should be built, regardless of a successful Commonwealth Games bid.

"Yes of course it should, but a clear deadline of the 2026 Commonwealth Games would get everyone's minds focused on delivering a new western metro rail line by then and the north-south rail line that connects to the new western Sydney airport," he said.

He also suggested a new athletes' village could be created from upgrades to an existing large western Sydney public housing estate.

This is not the first time western Sydney has been raised as a potential host.

Last year, the Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue (WSLD) made a push to host the 2026 or 2030 Games, setting up a stoush with Victoria, which has also indicated interest in hosting the 2030 Games.

At the time, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said she would "definitely" consider supporting western Sydney to host the competition.

However, Mr Foley said she and Sports Minister Stuart Ayres had done nothing since to further the plan.

"I think an Australian city will definitely host the Commonwealth Games in 2026 or 2030, so I'm saying let's make it western Sydney," he said.

"We shouldn't leave it to Perth or Adelaide to jump in and steal the games."

SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #91

THE PREAKNESS

As reported earlier, no real news. The Favorite, Justify, won. Ho Hum
Yes, it was a muddy track, the rain was falling, it was foggy, blah blah blah... Justify still managed to look like the best horse in the world.
Granted, thanks to the weather conditions, it was probably a lot closer than it would have been, but Justify looked unbeatable.
But again, we don't care
The real question was, which of the Dog Food Entries would do the best.

HERE WERE THE FINAL RESULTS
WIN - JUSTIFY
PLACE - BRAVAZO
SHOW - TEN FOLD

So those that took Bravazo/Diamond King are the winners of this Year's Preakness Contest
5 People had the right pick for this one

Time for a SPORTS QUICKIE

Or maybe a not so quickie...
It seems pretty quiet around here. But I do notice a some of the regulars lurking, so might as well give them something to do.
I plan on leaving this one open for much longer than usual so that hopefully it will fill up and the Honest Bookie doesn't have to take any numbers and then win

This will be game four of a best of seven series between

VS

The Monkeys won the first two games, but the Minions stormed back in game three and got their first win... I wonder how this game will go

And YEAH, these are imaginary games... but it does make it easier for me to look up the results
Ice has provided the random numbers that will be used for this best of 7 exhibition series.
So the question is...
How many runs did the Thailand Monkeys score in this imaginary game against the Antarctic Minions
I will tell you that it was between 0 and 9 runs.

You may answer with any number from 0 to 9
And as is tradition, no duplicate picks
So in this contest, since only 10 answers are available, only 10 people will be allowed.

What is it?
Pick how many runs the Thailand Monkeys scored in this imaginary game

How do you play?
To enter this contest, you will need to post the following:
SPORTS QUICKIE
a number 0 thru 9

EXAMPLE POST
SPORTS QUICKIE
5

Rules:
Just pick a number from 0 - 9
Only the first 10 posters with DIFFERENT PICKS will be entered
No Duplicates allowed
Only 1 post per person for this specific contest, any more and all of your posts will be disallowed.
If a post is edited, the time of the edit will determine who actually has what number.
The contest will "end" when all the numbers have been picked or I think nobody else is around to play
If all the numbers haven't been picked, the honest bookie will get some numbers

Reward:
If you guess correctly, you win 50 WRZ$

It's that simple... So pick and be quick... (or maybe not so quick)
Because this is a SPORTS QUICKIE
