Premier Stands Firm on Rockhampton Olympics | Perth News
Description
Queensland’s Premier is standing firm, declaring the 2032 Olympic rowing and canoeing events will absolutely take place on the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton—no matter the criticism. He dismisses concerns over infrastructure, safety, and fairness as elitist naysaying, while promising new housing and facilities to address logistical issues. Over 500 athletes pushing for relocation cite real environmental risks like crocodiles and unpredictable currents, but the government frames their objections as snobbery toward regional Queensland. With World Rowing still assessing the site, the state is making its position unyielding: Rockhampton is set to host, come what may.
