The Brisbane Organising Committee will be a statutory corporation responsible for the overall management of the 2032 Games, and is exempt from the right-to-information scheme citing the sensitive nature of its duties.
The Palaszczuk government will rush the bill through parliament before December 21, as stipulated by the host contract. Noted in the bill, is the QLD government must cover any financial shortfalls of the organising corporation once dissolved in order to meet its financial obligations.
