## Resource

Victoria’s taxpayers are footing the bill for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow — a wild twist after Victoria pulled out of hosting the 2026 event last year, citing ballooning costs. With no UK or Scottish funding in sight, this saga highlights a bigger shakeup in Australia’s sporting landscape. Once hailed as the “sporting capital,” Melbourne’s grip on the title is slipping as major events like MotoGP and Super Netball leave, while teams like the Melbourne Rebels face collapse. Yet, Victoria still pulls off an NFL game in September — while rivals like Queensland and Western Australia ramp up for global events, the competition is heating up across the nation.
