STREET TALK

DOES IT CONCERN YOU THAT THE HEAD OF THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES AND THE MAYOR ARE BICKERING SO CLOSE TO THE BIGGEST EVENT ON THE GOLD COAST?

BROADWATER PARKLANDS, 3.30PM, 13/7/17

Dirk Lust, 86, Bowen: Peter Beattie is the boss more or less, I think. You get sick of (the fighting).

Mary Evans, 37,

Labrador: No, I’m not interested in the Games. But I would expect that the people involved would engage with the Comm Games in the long run.

Mark Litila, 32,

Southport: A little bit, Tom Tate is a bit of a character. He’s probably just blowing off some steam, it’s stressful with a job like that.

Joanna Aurini, 29,

Southport: I would be, I think in general they need to get along better. It seems childlike.

Sonia Martello, 65,

Southport: I think it is childish, it’s immature. People in a public position need to be more accountable. Nicole Green, 41, Victoria: They probably need to get along to make a smooth event for everybody, it seems silly. They need to put their differences aside to make it a brilliant event.
