As an Australian I must say that every decision so far and in the future in regards to these games is and has been extremely political, aimed at nothing but short term votes. It’s worth noting that there’s an election in this state in the upcoming months as well, and hence influenced this decision. 

The opposition are fully backing the games so I don’t think they would cancel it if they win.

I’m sure Saudi Arabia will step in for a December Olympics if it does get cancelled 

 

More likely I suspect they will ask the IOC to cut sports and venues.

I can see these games being cancelled.

Could be a pretty small and dated mainstadium.

It just seems it will happen.

If I was the IOC I would be getting plans ready incase Queensland and Australia pull the plug on this.  Feels like it is heading that way. It seems the games are unpopular in Queensland. 
 

And prepare for 2036 to be in Saudi Arabia. Only non democracies will host games in the future.

I will be surprised if they will be that pleased to have a bid where swimming is so far from the host city. Particualy in somewhere like Spain where there are major political tensions between Madrid and Barcelona.

An hundred years on from 1936 would be something I am not sure the IOC will go for.
