2006 Commonwealth Games
The 2006 Commonwealth Games are going to be held in Melbourne, Australia.
1930 - 1934 - 1938 - 1950 - 1954[?] - 1958[?] - 1962[?] - 1966[?] - 1970[?] - 1974[?] - 1978[?] - 1982[?] - 1986[?] - 1990[?] - 1994[?] - 1998[?] - 2002 - 2006
At this early stage, concerns have already arisen about the large cost of staging the Games, with costs blowing out to over 1 billion Australian dollars and a high likelihood that the state government will have to cover the expense. This cost has been described in local media as excessive for what many regard as a second-rate sports event. Local residents are also unhappy with the location of the Games Village, in what they argue is in a local park - however, the site is currently a psychiatric hospital located on the park's boundary.
