I don't agree with the scrapping of the event - but you can't put millions of dollars into an event like this if you are pulling money out of everything else.
It just doesn't look good to the average voter.
And is it still bringing money to the state - out of the 55 million TC suggested, how much of that is new money to Queensland?
Don't forget that this is a government that is happy to scrap projects and events that cost as little as $160,000 a year.
