Episode Details

Six years until the Brisbane Olympics, and the countdown has begun—but progress is glacial. Only one major construction contract awarded so far, despite a $7.1 billion infrastructure budget and seven new venues still to build. Head honcho Andrew Liveris stays calm, calling it “not a crisis,” while securing big sponsorships like Commonwealth Bank for $200 million. Plans for a new 25,000-seat aquatic center are underway, but not everyone’s on board—protesters rally outside parliament over the $20 billion price tag and the culturally sensitive Victoria Park stadium site. The race is on, but the road ahead is fraught with challenges.
