WHAT YOU SAID ON FACEBOOK

Gold Coast Commonwealth Games chairman Peter Beattie has told locals whingeing about the expected chaos to “suck it up … because there’s no gain without some pain”.

Renee Aka-NayNay Can’t wait to see photos of Beattie traveling around during the games using public transport or riding a pink push bike with his brief case in his basket...

Kyle Dye What is the Gold Coast biggest revenue? Tourism. What will the Comm Games bring? Tourism. Both during the games and for some years after. How are you people that daft? Comm Games are broadcast all over the world so the advertising is amazing. For

two weeks of a bit of pain? I agree suck it up princesses.

Larelle Hewett The only solidarity in this is that everyone will be so disgusted with the lack of adequate infrastructure we’ll never hold another national event again.

Gayle McEvoy Let Peter Beattie travel in the traffic (minus privileges) for the entire time that we, the locals, are inconvenienced. Share the pain to share the gain!

Erin Lee Everyone needs to stop bloody whinging! Gold Coasters will whinge about anything and everything. All these ‘expert’ comments over something that hasn’t even happened yet? How do you know what it is going to be like?

Kyle Miller I’m sure he’ll catch a government helicopter to get to the Coast during the Games.

Colette Isherwood Gains??? Our Grandchildren will be paying this off for ever!!
