        When they are using tax payers money we are allowed to be critical. @SmartState1 has never shown fiscal responsibility with taxpayers money and the #gc2018 opening and closing #ceremonies are another example.

        Cop it on the chin like a real man or shut up @SmartState1 You duffed it big time with all sorts of unnecessary restrictions & “scare” campaign. Games were not as big a success as you lead the public to believe in terms of ROI of billions of dollars.

        So Peter #Beattie @SmartState1 is whinging other people are whinging about the TOTAL stuffup of opening and closing ceremonies ... #GC2018 WASN'T about HIS agenda's, it was about sports people of the #Commonwealth coming together; just add #GoldCoast2018 to his list of failures.
